AT - ATtenuator mode

The "AT" command reports the mode of the attenuator, or it can be used to change that mode. Just "AT" by itself will respond with either "AT0" or "AT1" to indicate that the attenuator is off, respectively on. The commands "AT0" and "AT1" can be used to set the mode of the attenuator to a desired state.

Command Response
<AT> <AT0>|<AT1>
<AT0> <>
<AT1> <>

AU - AUtomatic mode

The "AU" command reports the current setting of automatic band plan mode, or it can be used to change that setting. Just "AU" by itself will respond with either "AU0" or "AU1" to indicate that the automatic mode is off, respectively on. The commands "AU0" and "AU1" can be used to set automatic mode off, respectively on.

Command Response
<AU> <AU0>|<AU1>
<AU0> <>
<AU1> <>

BM - Bank link management for Memory (Scan)

The "BM" command allows you to manipulate the bank linking setup for scanning. The "BM" command by itself will output a line starting with the letters "BM", immediately followed by 20 characters. Each of these characters will either be the letter of a corresponding bank "ABCDEFGHIJabcdefghij," or a minus sign. Presence of the letter indicates that the particular bank is part of the linked group, a minus sign indicates that the bank is not part of the linked group.

The command can also be used to change the linked group status of banks. The command may be followed by a whole string of bank letters. For each letter mentioned, its status will be toggled, so banks that were in the linked group will be taken out and banks that were not in the linked group, will be put in.

If bank linked scanning was active, this command will disable that and switch the radio to regular single bank scan mode.

It is important to realize that this command will not switch bank linking on or off, it simply manipulates the list of linked banks. See the "ML" command for (de)activating linked scan mode.

Command Response
<BM> <BM-BC-E———————-> "(Banks B,C and E linked in)"
<BMA> <> "(Toggle linking of bank A)"

BN - Bank Number selection for scan or search

The "BN" command allows you to select which single bank is used in the current scan or search. The "BN" command just by itself will respond with the letter for the current bank for search mode and scan mode respectively. The "BN" command followed by a letter will change the current bank for the current mode (either search or scan). See the "MS" and "SS" command for starting either mode.

Command Response
<BN> <SRG MXB> "(Search bank G, scan/recall bank B)"
<BNC> <> "(Switch to bank C)"

BQ - Bank linking on/off for Query (search)

The "BQ" command allows you to switch bank linking for search mode on or off, or to simply inquire whether bank linking is on or off. See the "BS" command for switching banks into and out of the linked group.

Note: Using the "BS" command to manipulate the list of linked banks will automatically deactivate the linked bank scanning mode.

BS - Bank link management for Search

The "BS" command allows you to manipulate the bank linking setup for searching. The "BS" command by itself will output a line starting with the letters "BS", immediately followed by 20 characters. Each of these characters will either be the letter of a corresponding bank "ABCDEFGHIJabcdefghij," or a minus sign. Presence of the letter indicates that the particular bank is part of the linked group, a minus sign indicates that the bank is not part of the linked group.

The command can also be used to change the linked group status of banks. The command may be followed by a whole string of bank letters. For each letter mentioned, its status will be toggled, so banks that were in the link will be taken out and banks that were not in the link, will be put in.

If bank linked searching was active, this command will disable that and switch the radio to regular single bank search mode.

It is important to realize that this command will not switch bank linking on or off, it simply manipulates the list of linked banks. See the "BQ" command for (de)activating linked search mode.

Command Response
<BS> <BS-BC-E———————-> "(Banks B,C and E linked in)"
<BSA> <> "(Toggle linking of bank A)"

DD - Dump Direct (Report VFO mode)

The "DD" command puts the radio in 1VFO operating mode. The command is always sent just by itself and does not take any parameters. Its output looks like "RF0482790000 ST005000  AU1 MD1 AT0." Note there are two blanks just before the "AU" response!

The "RF" response indicates the VFO's tuning frequency in Hz, the "ST" response indicates the current step size in Hz. The "AU" response indicates automatic mode (see AU command), the "MD" response indicates receiver demodulation mode (see MD command) and the "AT" entry indicates attenuator status (see AT command).

Command Response
<DD> <RF0482790000 ST005000  AU1 MD1 AT0>

EX - EXit - Cancel remote operation

The "EX" command exits remote operation mode and returns functionality to the radio's keyboard. Note this command is processed asynchronously. It may, therefore, interrupt any output in progress from a previous command, even if issued on the same line as that command.

GA - Group Add (Select Scan)

The "GA" command adds a channel to the select scan group of channels. The command takes one parameter immediately following the letters "GA." The parameter consists of one bank letter followed by a two digit channel number with mandatory leading zero. The indicated channel is added to the first free spot in the select scan group memory.

Command Response
<GAF13> <> "(Adds channel F13 to select scan)"

GD - Group Delete (Select Scan)

The "GD" command deletes an entry from the select scan group memory. It takes on parameter which is the entry number in the group to be deleted. Entries following the designated entry will be shuffled down to fill the gap. The parameter is a number. Alternatively, the parameter "%%" may be used. In that case, all select scan entries will be deleted.

Command Response
<GD7> <> "(Deletes 7th entry in select scan group)"
<GD%%> <> "(Deletes all entries in select scan group)"

GR - Group Recall (Select Scan)

The "GR" command recalls the contents of the select scan group memory. Used just by itself, it will list the complete contents of the group memory, one entry per line. The format of an output line looks like:
"GR01 MXA00 MP0 RF0482512500 ST005000 MD1 AT0 TMMView1"
The "GR" entry indicates the group entry number. The rest of the line is identical to the output format for the "MR" command. See that command's description for further explanation. The last entry output will look like this:
"GR14 —-"
This indicates an empty entry and thus denotes the end of the list.

The command may also be followed by a single parameter indicating the group entry of interest. It must be a two digit number with leading zero. The response will be a single line in the above illustrated format for either a filled entry or an empty entry.

Command Response
<GR> <GR00 MXA03 MP0 VA0482612500 ST005000 AU1 MD1 AT0 TMP Alto1>
<GR01 MXA00 MP0 RF0482512500 ST005000 MD1 AT0 TMMView1>
<GR02 —->
<GR01> <GR00 MXA03 MP0 VA0482612500 ST005000 AU1 MD1 AT0 TMP Alto1>
