MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
BUF n Mode: CW/RTTY/ASCII Default: empty
Parameter:
n = 0 thru 9
Allows you to load up to ten buffers for use in the CW/RTTY/ASCII modes. Maximum
buffer text for each buffer is 120 characters. Note that when loading buffer text, there is no
space between the word "BUF" and the buffer number selected.
Buffers may be transmitted by setting up for the appropriate mode, and typing the
"ASENDCHAR" character (Ctrl-T). This causes the MFJ-1278B to enter transmit mode.
Another ASENDCHAR (Ctrl-T) causes the MFJ-1278B to wait for a buffer number. At this
point, enter a digit zero through nine and the buffer will be sent.
A special case occurs when the character "#" (pound sign) occurs in the buffer text. In this
case, the MFJ-1278B replaces the "#" with the current value of the SERIALNO counter.
Once used, this value is incremented by one up to a maximum of 65535, where the counter
rolls over to zero.
Also see: BUFTIME and SERIALNO commands.
BUFKEY nnn Mode: CW/ASCII Default: 9
BUFKEY allows user to transmit memory buffers without having to type "Ctrl-T". The
default character for BUFKEY nnn is the "TAB" key (9). To transmit a buffer, user will
press the "TAB" key then follow by a memory buffer number (0-9). For example, to transmit
memory buffer 0, press the "TAB" key then type the "0" key. MFJ-1278B will transmit the
content of memory buffer 0 then revert to receive at the end of the buffer transmission.
BUFKEY is useful for CW, MCW, RTTY or ASCII.
BUFTIME n Mode: CW Default: 0
Parameter:
n= 0 thru 65535
When a non-zero BUFTIME is specified, the MFJ-1278B will transmit Buffer 0 at the
repetition rate specified in seconds. BUFTIME is effective only in the CW mode. If the
transmitter is not keyed, the buffer timer will key it, send Buffer 0, then release it. This is
useful for beaconing, calling CQ, etc. BUFTIME is disabled by setting it to 0.
