Response message: 1 (on) or 0 (off)
When scanning, recalling saved channel patterns or in the Single Channel mode, enabling
Break-Before-Make will assure that the currently closed channel will open before the next chan-
nel closes.
When Break-Before-Make is disabled, the assurance that the current channel will open before
the next channel closes is lost. In other words, two channels could momentarily be closed at the
same time. An advantage to disabling Break-Before-Make is an increase in speed.
