MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
DAYTIME date&time Mode: Packet No default
Parameters:
date&time Current date and time to set.
This command allows you to set the current date and time for the MFJ-1278B. The format for
entering the date&time is
yymmddhhmm
where yy is the last two digits of the year, mm is the two- digit month code (01-12), dd is
date (01-31), hh is the hour (00-23), and mm is the minutes after the hour (00-59). All these
codes must be exactly two digits, so that numbers from 0 to 9 must be entered with leading
zeros. The MFJ-1278B does not check thoroughly for the correct number of days in a month,
so you should use some judgment when you set the date.
The date&time parameter is used by the commands CONSTAMP and MSTAMP to "time
stamp" received and monitored messages. Entries in the "heard" (displayed by MHEARD)
are also time stamped if date&time has been set. The MFJ-1278B's time is updated
continuously as long as it is powered up. You must reset the date and time each time you turn
on the MFJ-1278B. If you don't do this, the commands CONSTAMP and MSTAMP will
not enable time stamping.
If you type DAYTIME without a parameter, the MFJ-1278B will display the current date
and time. The format of the display is dd-mm-yy hh:mm if DAYUSA is OFF, and
mm/dd/yy hh:mm if DAYUSA is ON. The format for entering date&time is not affected.
For example,
cmd: DAYTIME 8402291530
sets the date and time to February 29, 1984 at 3:30 PM. The display of the date and time,
with DAYUSA ON would be:
cmd: DAYTIME
02/29/84 15:30:26
