Mnemonic:

Default: not set
Parameters:
date&time
Current DATE and TIME to set.
DAYTIME sets the PK-88's internal clock current date and time. The
date&time
parameter is used
in Packet Mode by the commands CONSTAMP and MSTAMP to 'time stamp' received and monitored
messages.
Entries in the 'heard' (displayed by MHEARD) are also time stamped if
date&time
has been set.
The PK-88's time is updated continuously, as long as it is powered up.
The clock is not set when the PK-88 is turned on. The DAYTIME command displays the following
error message:
cmd:

?clock not set
⇒
You must reset date and time each time you turn on the PK-88. Otherwise CONSTAMP and
MSTAMP will not 'stamp' the time.
