Specifications

MBX NONE (Default) All monitored frames are shown with their headers.
MBX ALL Only the data fields in the I-frames and UI frames are shown.
Data from retried frames will be shown each time such a frame is
monitored. The MFROM and MTO commands are active.
MBX CALL 1 Only the data in the I and UI frames to or from CALL 1 are shown.
CALL 1 can be either the source or destination station. Retried
frames are not shown. The MFROM and MTO commands are ignored.
MBX CALL 1, Only the data in the I and UI frames are shown when CALL 1 is the
CALL 2 source and CALL 2 is the destination or vice-versa. Retried
frames are not shown. The MFROM and MTO commands are ignored.
A packet connection on any channel inhibits monitoring, if MBX is not set to
"none". MCON will only work if MBX is set to "none".
Clear MBX with "%" "&" "N" "NO" "NONE" or "OFF" as arguments.

MCon "n" Default: 0 (none)
Mode: Packet Host: MC

"n" - 0 to 6 signifies various levels of monitor indications

Use MCON for selective monitoring of other packet traffic while connected to a
distant station. MCON works in similar fashion to MONITOR, but affects your
display only while you are connected to another station.
If MCON is set to a value between "1" and "5," frames meant for you are
displayed as though monitoring was OFF. You'll see only the data. If MCON is
set to "6," frames meant for you are displayed as any other monitored frame.
The headers appear together with the data.
The meanings of the parameter values are:
0 Monitoring while connected is disabled.
1 Only unnumbered (UI) frames resulting from an unconnected transmission are
displayed. Use this for an "unproto," roundtable type QSO. This setting
also display beacons.
2 Numbered (I) frames are also displayed. Use this to monitor connected
conversations in progress.
3 Connect request (SABM or "C") frames and disconnect (DISC or "D") frames
are also displayed with the headers.
4 Unnumbered acknowledgment (UA) of connect- and disconnect-state frames are
also displayed with either the characters "UA" or "DM" and a header.
5 Receive Ready (RR), Receive Not Ready (RNR), Reject (RJ), Frame Reject
(FRMR) and (I)-Frames are also displayed.
6 Poll/Final bit, PID and sequence numbers are also displayed.
