Q. I'm trying to go into a different mode with Multicom, but my
controller won't accept it. What's going on?
A. Your controller is probably locked into the AMTOR mode. Try
pressing the <F1> key several times, then select a different mode.
When in AMTOR mode, the controller stays there until it receives a
"Control+C" command twice from your terminal. The Multicom
software sends a "Control+C" through the use of the <F1> key.
Q. My weather fax pictures come out looking really dull and gray.
I'm tuning them in exactly using the tuning indicator. How can I
sharpen them up a little?
A. Try tuning your rig "off-frequency" just a little bit, so that the tuning
indicator moves to the left. Sometimes that will help with contrast
problems. You can immediately see the results by watching the new
scan lines appear on your screen. Don't go too far, though, or you
might lose the picture.
Q. Why does the tuning indicator bounce around even when the radio
isn't turned on? Is that normal?
A. Very normal. If the MFJ-1278B doesn't receive a signal, it "tries" to
determine what it is hearing (nothing!). There is nothing wrong with
your controller. What really matters here is that the MFJ-1278B
receives a signal which is tuned in properly.
Q: I backed up my hard drive with a tape backup unit and later my
hard drive crashed. I restored all of the information from the tape
