PK-232 MBX Operating Manual - N3UJJ

_______________________________________________________________________________
AXHang "n"
Default: 0 (000 msec.)
Mode: Packet
Host: AH
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
"n" - 0 to 20 specifies voice repeater "hang time" in 100-millisecond
intervals.
_______________________________________________________________________________
AXHANG allows you to increase efficiency when sending packets through an audio
repeater that has a hang time greater than 100 milliseconds.
When the PK-232 has heard a packet sent within the AXHANG period, it does not
add the repeater keyup delay (AXDELAY) to the key-up time. Try various values
to find the best value for "n" if you are using a repeater that hasn't been used
for packet operations before. If other packet stations have been using the
repeater, check with them for the proper setting.

BAudot
Immediate Command
Mode: Command
Host: BA
_______________________________________________________________________________
BAUDOT is an immediate command that switches the PK-232 into the Baudot mode.
Baudot RTTY operation is very common around the world, and is the basis of the
telex network and most radio press, weather and point-to-point message services.
The Baudot/Murray and ITA #2 character sets do not contain lower case or the
special punctuation and control characters found in ASCII. Because the
Baudot/ITA #2 code requires only five information bits to define each character,
it will generally suffer fewer errors than ASCII code at the same data rate.

BBSmsgs ON|OFF
Default: OFF
Mode: Packet
Host: BB
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - Makes the PK-232 status messages look like the TAPR-style output.
OFF - The PK-232 status messages work as before (default).
_______________________________________________________________________________
When BBSMSGS is ON, some of the status messages change or are suppressed which
may improve operation of the PK-232 with some BBS software. The following AEA
PK-232 status messages are suppressed or changed if BBSMSGS is ON:
No "(parm) was (value)"
No "(parm) now (value)"
Connect messages: No "; v2; 1 unACKed"
No "xxx in progress: (dest) via (digis)"
No space after comma in digipeater lists
"VIA" in upper case
If MRPT is ON, digi paths are displayed in TAPR format
No "*** connect request:"
No "*** retry count exceeded"
Sends carriage return before all other "***"
No "(callsign) busy" message
