Commander: Changing Mode and Filter Setting

Commander Online Help Contents

Buttons representing the modes supporting by your radio appear in the Main window's Mode panel, and identify the radio's current mode. To change your radio's mode, click the appropriate button in the Mode panel. You can also change your radio's mode by selecting a memory.

If your radio supports Filter Groups and the restore Filter Group on mode change box is checked,  the caption on each mode button will indicate the last Filter Group used in that mode. In this case, clicking a mode button both directs your radio to change mode, and establishes receiver bandwidth settings specified by that Filter Group. 

LSB selects lower sideband modulation
USB selects upper sideband modulation
CW selects continuous wave
CW-R selects continuous wave, reversed
RTTY selects radioteletype
RTTY-R selects radioteletype, reversed
FM selects frequency modulation
WBFM select wide-band frequency modulation
AM selects amplitude frequency modulation
PKT selects packet
PKT-R selects packet, reversed
Data-L selects data mode, lower sideband
Data-U selects data mode, upper sideband

When an Elecraft K3 transceiver's mode is changed to RTTY or RTTY-R, its data mode is set to FSK D or AFSK A as specified in the RTTY sub-mode panel.

When an Icom IC-7600, IC-7700, or IC-7800 transceiver's mode is changed to Data-L or Data-U, its data sub-mode is set to D1, D2, or D3 as specified in the Data sub-mode panel.

If you are using PKT or PKT-R to log digital-mode QSOs in DXKeeper without running a digital mode application like WinWarbler or MultiPSK, use the Log Mode for PKT or PKT-R setting to specify the digital mode to be logged.

If you are using Data-L or Data-U to log digital-mode QSOs in DXKeeper without running a digital mode application like WinWarbler or MultiPSK, use the Log Mode for Data-L or Data-U setting to specify the digital mode to be logged.
