Text or String Parameters<br />
A text parameter such as the CTEXT message (your Connect-TEXT<br />
message) can hold most any ASCII character including UPPER and lower<br />
case letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation.<br />
Some commands such as CONNECT require call signs as parameters. These<br />
parameters are usually call signs, but may be any string of numbers<br />
and at least one letter up to six characters in length. Some commands<br />
such as CFROM (your "Connect FROM" list) have parameters which are<br />
actually lists of call signs. You must separate multiple call signs<br />
with either spaces or commas.<br />
A.3.4<br />
Using Commands Without Arguments<br />
All commands that accept values or parameters may be typed without any<br />
arguments to check their status.<br />
Typing the only the command name "VHF" with no arguments displays:<br />
cmd:VHF - Command with no arguments<br />
Vhf ON - displays the present value<br />
NOTE: The DISPLAY command shows you groups of related parameters.<br />
