\ GEnie¬ Guide for CB LiveWire/RTC Meeting Commands
This guide contains command summaries for the CB LiveWire system and RTC Meeting Commands. Refer to your manual for details.
\ LIVEWIRE CB COMMANDS
The LiveWire CB Simulator has a series of commands which you can use. These commands allow you to change your handle, change channels, have private or coded conversations with other CBers, and other things. Each command starts with a slash(/) and is followed by a command word. Only the first three (3) letters of the command are needed and you can use either upper or lower case. They can be entered any time you are on a CB channel. The following is a list of these commands and a brief discussion of when and how to use them.
\ /BYE -
signs you off and disconnects the phone.
\ /CAL1 job# -
gets another CBer's attention. Sends a message that you are calling. You can find out a job number by using the /STA or ?SHO command.
\ /CHAnnel # -
moves you to another channel. The # is the channel you want to move to.
\ /ECHo -
turns on the echo mode. When you are in the echo mode, you will see your messages, as well as the messages of everyone on your channel.
\ /SQUelch job# -
eliminates messages from another individual. However, they will still be able to see your messages. Use the /XSQ command to restore.
\ /STAtus # -
displays the handles and job numbers of other users on the CB. The # is the channel number you want the status of. An "*" will give you a status list for all channels. If the channel number is omitted, the status of your current channel is displayed. In the STA column, p means CBer is in private with someone, M means they are monitoring the channel, S means they are in scrambled mode and N means they are in normal status.
\ /TIMe -
displays the current time of day. It is Eastern Time.
\ /USErs -
shows how many users are on each channel.
\ /WHO job# -
shows the handle, city and state of the CBer with the indicated job number.
\ /XECho -
turns off the echo mode.
\ /XMOnitor -
turns off the monitor mode.
\ /XPRivate -
allows you to exit the private mode.
\ /XSCramble -
turns off the scramble mode, and produces messages in clear text.
\ /XSQuelch -
turns off the squelch of all jobs you have squelched.
\ RTC MEETING COMMANDS
RTC provides you with a selection of commands which help you get the most out of the meeting. Many of the commands are the same as in LiveWire. These commands are:
/BYE/CALI,/ECHo,/EXIt,/HELp,/MONitor,/PRIvate,
/QUIt,/SCRamble,/SHOw,/SQUelch,/STAtus,/TIMe,
/USErs,/WHO,/XECho,/XMOnitor,/XPRivate,
/XSCramble,/XSQuelch
Refer to LiveWire section above for more info.
\ /KNOck room# -
a meeting leader can limit access to a meeting by locking the door. The /KNOck command allows you to get the attention of the meeting leader unless a Do Not Disturb sign has been posted (in which case KNOcking is not allowed). The leader will see the message:
<ROGERS>,Job 6 is calling.
The leader can then decide to unlock the door and/or send you a message.
\ /RAIse-hand -
In some meetings, the leader may require that a speaker be recognized before talking (this happens when the meeting leader puts the room in "Listen Only" mode). In such meetings, you use the /RAI command to "get the floor" to talk. Once the leader has recognized you, you may then enter your message.
\ /ROL1 -
Sometimes the RTC is used for games. This command rolls "electronic dice". The format is ROLinDs, where n is the number of dice (from 1-20) and s is the number of sides (up to 100). The default is one, 6 sided dice.
\ /ROOm# -
This command is used to move from one room to another. The # is the number of the room you want to move to.
