Menu parameters via macro

Jim Rogers, W4ATK
        I have had no success at accessing menu parameters via MNxxx, MPxxx, and/or MQxxx commands.

        The book sez:  "MN acceses menu entries. MP can then be used (in some cases) to read or set the parameter value. Based on this I should be able to do the following:

        MN115;  (enter the menu)
        MP115;  (acquire or set the value)
        MN255;  (exit the menu)

        So far, nothing.....

        JIm, W4ATK

MP is generally much lower. Try MN115; in the command tester, then MP; in the command tester, observe the MPxxx; response, change the menu item with the radio, then enter MP; in the command tester, observe the response.   I use this technique to correlate MP values with menu parameters. Use the MPxxx; values in your setters. MP115; is too high.
