NAME

Set the name of the radio which will show up in broadcasts and optionally the display.

C[D]<seq_number>|radio name <name>

< name >    = alphanumeric name of the radio - if left blank, the current name is returned

Example:

C21|radio name 6M

See Response Format for details on the format of the response messages from the radio

Hex Response Message Debug Output / Meaning
00000000 <slice_rx> OK radio name set
5000002C   Radio name provided is too long (>15 characters)

Responses

Response Example:

R21|0|OK

CALLSIGN

Set or retrieve the callsign of the radio which will show up in broadcasts and optionally the display.

C[D]<seq_number>|radio callsign <callsign>

< callsign >    = alphanumeric callsign of the radio - if left blank, radio will return current callsign

Example:

C21|radio callsign K5FRS

See Response Format for details on the format of the response messages from the radio

Hex Response Message Debug Output / Meaning
00000000 <slice_rx> OK radio callsign set
5000002C   Incorrect number of parameters

Response Example:

R21|0|OK

FILTER_SHARPNESS

Set the filter sharpness by mode. The filter sharpness adjusts the number of taps or stages in the filter which are traded off against latency.

C[D]<seq_number>|radio filter_sharpness <mode> <level=0-3> <auto_level=0|1|t|f>

< mode >          = "voice", "cw" or "digital" - indicates which types of modes the sharpness applies to
< level >         = a relative level of sharpness with 0 being least sharp and 3 most sharp.
                    With each level increase, latency doubles
< auto_level >    = "0" or "1" turns off/on internal algorithm for automatic setting of the filter sharpness

Example:

C21|radio filter_sharpness voice level=2

See Response Format for details on the format of the response messages from the radio

Hex Response Message Debug Output / Meaning
00000000 Filter settings successful
50000016   malformed command / incorrect parameters
5000002C   Incorrect number of parameters
