PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-3 128
A.3.3 Text or String Parameters
A text parameter such as the CTEXT message (your Connect-TEXT message) can hold
most any ASCII character including UPPER and lower case letters, numbers, spaces, and
punctuation.
Some commands such as CONNECT require call signs as parameters. These parameters
are usually call signs, but may be any string of numbers and at least one letter up to six
characters in length. Some commands such as CFROM (your "Connect FROM" list) have
parameters which are actually lists of call signs. You must separate multiple call signs with
either spaces or commas.
A.3.4 Using Commands Without Arguments
All commands that accept values or parameters may be typed without any arguments to
check their status. Typing the only the command name VHF with no arguments displays:
cmd:VHF {Command with no arguments}
Vhf ON {displays the present value}
NOTE: The DISPLAY command shows you groups of related parameters.
A.4 Controller Messages
From time to time, the PK-232 will generate messages informing you of its status. Error
messages will also be generated if the PK-232 did not understand a command you have en-
tered. This section describes the PK-232's messages and the circumstances which cause
them to appear.
