Some parameters can be set differently for the two radi o ports. In the command descriptions,
these parameters are indicated by two default settings separated by a slash, for example
MAX-
FRAME
1/4. The first parameter is used for the HF radio port and the second parameter is used
for the VHF port. There are several ways these double parameters can be set.
MAX 2/3 sets HF MAXframe to 2 and VHF Maxframe to 3
MAX, 4/ sets HF MAXframe to 4
MAX /7 sets VHF MAXframe to 7
MAX G sets both HF and VHF MAXframe to 6
All commands having independent values for the HF and VHF port are set in the same manner.
In the command descriptions that follow, the commands are shown with the required letter en-
try in bold type upper case. If a parameter must be chosen from one of two values, the choices
are separated by a vertical bar. Optional parameters are shown in parenthesis, For example:
COMMAND var A|B|(C|D)
This means that, the command requires a user-supplied variable var and either A or B. In ad-
dition, the user can optionally specify either C or D.
You can examine the value of any parameter by typing the command which sets this parameter
followed by a <CR>, A special command, Display, allows you to see the values of all parameters
or groups of related parameters.
