followed by a carriage return. Now let's try entering your callsign using one of the basic
commands, MYCALL, by typing from the cmd command prompt:
MYCALL K5FLU
followed by a carriage return.
The MFJ-1278B will respond with:
MYCALL was NOCALL
cmd:
followed by the the system command mode prompt, cmd:. Of course, you should substitute
your own call sign for K5FLU. Do not forget the <ENTER> at the end of the line. Your
callsign will be used by the MFJ-1278B as its "address." The MFJ-1278B responds by
telling you the previous value of the MYCALL parameter, and gives you a new Command
Mode prompt.
Note that commands are entered by inserting a carriage return <ENTER> after each
command is typed. Note also that carriage return may also be marked as <ENTER> on some
computer keyboards.
Now try typing just the command by itself:
cmd: MYCALL
The MFJ-1278B will respond with:
MYCALL K5FLU
You can see the current value of most parameters by typing the command that sets the
parameter followed by just a <ENTER>. This verifies that the MFJ-1278B accepted your
callsign.
