MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
AXHANG n Mode: Packet Default: 0
Parameters:
n 0 - 20, specifying the voice repeater hang time in 100 ms intervals.
This value can be used to increase channel efficiency when an audio repeater with a hang
time greater than 100 ms is used. For a repeater with a long hang time, it is not necessary to
wait for the repeater keyup delay after keying the transmitter if the repeater is still
transmitting. If the TNC has heard a packet sent within the hang period, it will not add the
repeater keyup delay (AXDELAY) to the keyup time.
If you are using a repeater that hasn't been used for packet operations before, you will have to
experiment to find the best value for n. If other packet stations have been using the repeater,
check with them for the proper setting.
Note that the TAPR TNC 1 and other TNCs using the same version 3.x firmware interpret n
in 120 ms intervals. The value you set on MFJ-1278B for AXHANG will thus be 6/5 the
value used by a TNC 1 user for the same hang time when converting, round down to the
nearest integer.
BBSMSGS ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: OFF
This command controls how the MFJ-1278B displays certain messages in command and
CONVERSE modes. The messages affected are described below:
MESSAGE EFFECT WHEN BBSMSGS ON
***CONNECTED to xxxx A newline is added just before"***"
***DISCONNECTED A newline is added just before"***"
***retry limit exceeded A newline is added just before"***"
***xxxx Busy A newline is added just before"***"
***FRMR sent A newline is added just before"***"
***FRMR rcvd A newline is added just before"***"
***Connect request:xxxx This message is omitted.
The BBSMSGS command is primarily useful for host operation. Primarily with WORLI and
like bulletin board systems that require link status messages to begin in the first output
column.
The connect request message is omitted during
BBS
MSGS mode. This should be most
