Using Commands Without Arguments; Controller Messages - Advanced Electronic Applications PK-88 Operating Manual

PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
Certain commands have parameters which are lists of call signs:
o The MFROM and MTO commands allow you to specify from one to eight call signs
for selective monitoring.
o You must separate multiple call sign lists with either blank spaces or commas.
Some examples will help you understand these explanations.
o BEACON EVERY|AFTER
The BEACON command requires both Boolean and numeric arguments. You must specify
either EVERY or AFTER (abbreviated to E or A), followed by an argument
some range of values.
An appropriate entry would be BEACON EVERY 180 (this tells the PK-88 to send a beacon
every 180 × 10 seconds, every 30 minutes), or BEACON EVERY 0 (tells the PK-88 to
never send the beacon at all).
o CONNECT call1 [VIA call2[,call3 .... call9]]
The CONNECT command requires a string argument 'call1'.
You may include the keyword VIA, followed by a list of from one to eight call signs, 'call2'
through 'call9'.
Multiple call signs in the list must be separated by commas or spaces.
An acceptable entry would be:
C WX1AAA V WX2BBB,WX3CCC
cmd:
3.3.7

Using Commands Without Arguments

If you type a command name without an argument, the current value of the command's
arguments is displayed. For example:
mdigi
cmd:
MDIGI ON
MDIGI Y
cmd:
MDIGI was OFF
MDIGI now ON
