MA$
(Mode Alternates; GET only)
This command is only needed by applications that are attempting to functionally emulate
the K4's mode-select button group. It returns a set of bit flags that shows what
alternate
modes
were last selected for each
primary mode
for the current VFO. "Alternate Modes"
refers to one of: CW normal/reverse, USB/LSB, DATA-A normal/reverse, etc. These are
tracked so that the MODE button group can be labeled with the correct per-VFO/per-band
mode selections.
RESP format:
MAxx; where xx is an ASCII-hex value whose bits are defined as follows:
b0
0 = CW normal, 1 = CW reverse
b1
0 = LSB, 1 = USB (default is LSB for 160/80/40 m, USB for other bands)
b2
0 = DATA-A normal, 1 = DATA-A reverse
b3
0 = AFSK-A normal, 1 = AFSK-A reverse
b4
0 = FSK-D normal, 1 = FSK-D reverse
b5
0 = PSK-D normal, 1 = PSK-D reverse
b6
0 (reserved for future use)
b7
0 (reserved for future use)

MD$
(Operating Mode)
SET/RESP format:
MD$n; where 0=N/A, 1=LSB, 2=USB, 3=CW, 4=FM, 5=AM, 6=DATA,
7=CW REV, 8=N/A, 9=DATA REV. Also see
DT
(DATA sub-mode). Applications that
recreate the K4's mode-select button group should also use the
MA
command.
TOGGLE format:
MD$/; alternates between two most recently used modes.
INCR/DECR format:
MD$+; and MD$-; cycle through the operating modes (SSB, CW,
AM, FM, DATA).
