FT: Get/Set Transmit VFO Mode
Set: Set VFO Mode: 0, 1, 2 correspond to VFO A, VFO B or Split respectively. This is the case for
both the FR and FT commands (which are nominally Receive and Transmit VFOs) because in
the QMX the VFO mode use does not correspond exactly to TS-480.
Get: Get Transmit VFO Mode: 0 means VFO A is used for transmit (must be VFO Mode A); 1
means VFO B is being used for transmit (could be due to VFO mode being VFO B, or VFO
Mode being Split)
FW: Get filter bandwidth
Get: Returns 3200 in Digi mode, and 0300 for CW mode (300Hz CW bandwdith).
ID: Get radio ID
Get: Always returns 020 (Kenwood TS-480)
IF: Get transceiver information (TS-480 format).
Get: Returns a composite information string containing the state of the transceiver, as follows
(excluding command ID and ; terminator character):
• 11-digit operating frequency (VFO A or B, according to the VFO mode setting and transmit/
receive state
• 5 spaces
• 5-digit RIT frequency, as +/-9999Hz e.g. RIT up 200Hz returns “+0200” in this field
• RIT status: 0 = RIT OFF, 1 = RIT ON
• XIT status: always 0 because QMX has no XIT
• Memory channel bank number: always 0
• Memory channel number: always 00
• Transceiver status: 0 = RX, 1 = TX
• Operating mode: returns 1 for LSB, or 2 for USB (the normal mode for digi)
• Receive VFO: 0 = VFO A, 1 = VFO B
• Scan status: always 0
• Split: 0 = Simplex operation (VFO mode A or VFO mode B), 1 = Split
• Tone: always 0
• Tone number: always 0
• Space character
MD: Get/Set operating mode
Set: Set to 3 (CW), 6 (FSK), 7 (CWR) or 9 (FSR/FSK Reverse)
Get: Returns 3 (CW), 6 (FSK), 7 (CWR) or 9 (FSR/FSK Reverse)
Q0: Get/Set TCXO reference frequency
Set: Set TCXO reference frequency. Only values between 24999000 and 25001000 are allowed.
The setting is for the current operating session only and is not written to EEPROM.
Get: Get TCXO reference frequency.
