Ordinarily, only text packets are displayed.  If you want to see some of the 
protocol packets, you can set 

MCOM ON

 and connect, disconnect, disconnect 

acknowledgments, and DM (connect-request rejection) packets will be 
displayed.  For example, 
 

WB9FLW>N7CL <C> 
KV7B>N2WX <D> 

 
indicate connect and disconnect packets.  Disconnect acknowledgments are 
designated 

<UA>

, and DM packets are 

<DM>

. 

 
You can cause the MFJ TNC  to "filter" certain characters from monitored 
packets with the command 

MFILTER

.  This allows you to remove, for example, 

form-feeds, bell characters, or extra <LF>s that may be necessary to the stations 
involved in a connection, but which may interfere with your display.  You can 
specify up to four characters by giving the ASCII character codes in hex or 
decimal.
