Keyboard and Batch Commands
</h3><hr>
<p>Following is a list of commands recognized in keyboard and batch
modes. Note that the <code>radio</code> command must be given before any
command, other than <code>gain</code>, <code>port</code>,
<code>quit</code>, <code>trace</code> or <code>verbose</code>. Other
than this, there are no restrictions on the order of these commands. The
commands recognized in batch mode are any that are recognized in
keyboard mode, except the <code>keypad</code> command, which puts the
program in keypad mode. Note that several commands shown in the
<code>?</code> help billboard, but not documented here, have not been
tested.
<dl>
<p><dt><code>am [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select AM mode and set the BFO compensation to the argument given.
If no argument is given, report the current offset, but only if it is
nonzero. This is the same function as the keypad <code>m</code> command.
<p><dt><code>ant [ <i>antenna</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select one of the antennas listed by the help menu. If no argument
is given, report the previous selection. This is identical to the keypad
<code>a</code> command.
<p><dt><code>atten [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select one of the trace functions listed by the help menu. If no
argument is given, report the previous selection.
<p><dt><code>band [ <i>lowfreq</i> ] [ <i>highfreq</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the low and high band edges for step-scanning. If stepped above
the high band edge, the frequency is set to the low band edge. If
stepped below the low band edge, the frequency is set to the high band
edge.
<p><dt><code>chan [ <i>channel</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the memory channel and set the VFO frequency, mode and offset
to its contents. If the argument is missing, refresh the last channel
selected. This is the same function as the keypad <code>c</code> command
and the channel selection buttons or knobs on the radio.
<p><dt><code>clear [ <i>channel</i> ]</code>
<dd>Clear the memory channel. If the argument is missing, clear the last
channel selected. This is the same function as the keypad <code>x</code>
command and the <code>CLEAR</code> button on the radio.
<p><dt><code>comp [ <i>frequency</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the VFO compensation, in parts per million (PPM). If no argument
is given, report the previous value.
<p><dt><code>control [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the control function, where the argument corresponds to a
member in the list displayed by the help menu. If no argument is given,
report the previous selection.
<p><dt><code>cw [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select CW mode and set the BFO compensation to the argument given.
If no argument is given, report the current offset, but only if it is
nonzero.
<p><dt><code>down</code>
<dd>Shift the current frequency down one step and report the new value
and current mode. This is the same function as the keypad DOWN arrow
key.
<p><dt><code>duplex [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the transmit duplex offset for ICOM VHF/UHF transceivers. It is
not clear how to set the <code>+-DUPLEX</code> switch.
<p><dt><code>fm [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select FM mode and set the BFO compensation to the argument given.
If no argument is given, report the current offset, but only if it is
nonzero.
<p><dt><code>freq [ <i>frequency</i> ] [ <i>mode</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the VFO frequency and select the mode/filter combination. The
<i>mode</i> argument must be a member of the list displayed by the
<code>mode ?</code> command. If no argument is given, report the current
values. Note: In some ICOM radios it is not possible to set the
frequency of the last channel less than that of the next-to-last
channel. Presumably, this is to avoid abusing the internal scan feature
of the radio.
<p><dt><code>key [ <i>text</i> ]</code>
<dd>Transmit the ASCII text of the argument in CW.
<p><dt><code>keypad</code>
<dd>Switch to keypad mode.
<p><dt><code>lsb [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select LSB mode and set the BFO compensation to the argument given.
If no argument is given, report the current offset, but only if it is
nonzero. This is the same function as the keypad <code>l</code> command.
<p><dt><code>meter [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the meter mode, where the argument corresponds to a member in
the list displayed by the help menu. If no argument is given, report the
previous selection.
<p><dt><code>mode [ <i>mode</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select one of the mode/filter combinations listed by the help menu.
If no argument is given, report the current selection.
<p><dt><code>offset [ <i>mode</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select one of the mode/filter combinations listed by the help menu.
If no argument is given, report the current selection.
<p><dt><code>probe [ <i>mode</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select one of the functions listed by the help menu. If no argument
is given, report the last selected function.
<p><dt><code>quit</code>
<dd>Exit the program and return control to the shell.
<p><dt><code>rate [ <i>rate</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the tuning rate to a value between 0 and 12 corresponding to
rates from the minimum tuning step to that value times 10,000. If no
argument is given, report the current value.
<p><dt><code>radio [ <i>name</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select one of the radios listed by the help menu and display its
capabilities, including the and upper and lower band limits, minimum
tuning step and related data. This must be the first command in keyboard
or batch modes. If the argument is missing, the description and band
limits of the current selection are displayed.
<p><dt><code>restore <i>file</i> [ <i>first</i> ] [ <i>last</i> ]</code>
<dd>Restore the block of memory channels numbered from <i>first</i> to
<i>last</i>, inclusive, from the named <i>file</i>, or until the end of
file. If <i>last</i> is missing, restore only the channel number
<i>first</i>. If both <i>first</i> and <i>last</i> are missing, restore
all memory channels from channel 1 to the highest channel number, or
until the end of file.
<p><dt><code>rsplit [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the receive VFO frequency from the transmit VFO frequency with
optional <i>offset</i> in kHz; the transmitter will continue on the
original frequency.
<p><dt><code>rtty [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select CW mode and set the BFO compensation to the argument given.
If no argument is given, report the current offset.
<p><dt><code>save <i>file</i> [ <i>first</i> ] [ <i>last</i> ]</code>
<dd>Save the block of memory channels numbered from <i>first</i> to
<i>last</i>, inclusive, to the named file. If <i>last</i> is missing,
save only the channel number <i>first</i>. If both <i>first</i> and
<i>last</i> are missing, save all memory channels from channel 1 to the
highest channel number. Note that cleared memory channels are not saved.
<p><dt><code>say [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the announce function, where the argument corresponds to a
member in the list displayed by the help menu. If no argument is given,
report the previous selection.
<p><dt><code>meter [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the meter mode, where the argument corresponds to a member in
the list displayed by the help menu. If no argument is given, report the
previous selection.
<p><dt><code>scan [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the scan mode, where the argument corresponds to a member in
the list displayed by the help menu. If no argument is given, report the
previous selection.
<p><dt><code>step [ <i>step</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the tuning step used in keypad mode by the <code>UP</code> and
<code>DOWN</code> keyboard arrow keys. The value temporarily replaces
previous value set by the keyboard mode <code>rate</code> command or
keypad mode <code>LEFT</code> and <code>RIGHT</code> keyboard keys. If
the argument is missing, report the current step value.
<p><dt><code>trace [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the CI-V bus trace function from the list displayed by the
help menu. If no argument is given, report the previous selection
command.
<p><dt><code>tune [ <i>code</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select the main radio dial tuning step, where the argument
corresponds to a member in the list displayed by the help menu. If no
argument is given, report the previous selection.
<p><dt><code>up</code>
<dd>Shift the current frequency down one step and report the new value
and current mode. This is the same function as the keypad UP arrow key.
<p><dt><code>usb [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Select USB mode and set the BFO compensation to the argument given.
If no argument is given, report the current offset, but only if it is
nonzero. This is the same function as the keypad <code>u</code> command.
<p><dt><code>verbose on | off ]</code>
<dd>Set the verbose mode on or off. The default for batch mode is off;
for keyboard and keypad modes, the default is on.
<p><dt><code>write [ <i>channel</i> ]</code>
<dd>Write the memory channel with the contents of the VFO, mode and
transmit duplex offset, if present. If the argument is missing, write
the last channel selected. This is the same function as the keypad
<code>w</code> command and the <code>WRITE</code> button on the radio.
<p><dt><code>xsplit [ <i>offset</i> ]</code>
<dd>Set the transmit VFO frequency from the receive VFO frequency with
optional <i>offset</i> in kHz; the receiver will continue on the
original frequency.
