The LC RF-Modem takes priority over the reception of the characters coming from the serial link connected to it. Thus a permanent reception or jamming on its channel of a radio signal (valid or not) cannot involve locking to switch to Hayes command.

Note: The Time between 2 characters of the same command must be under 10 seconds. Despite its similarity to standard telecommunication modem, ADCON LC-IND radio modems remains a radio link modem and is consequently fitted with some particular additional “AT”...
