Beacon EVERY|AFTER "n"
Default: EVERY 0 (00 sec.)
Mode: Packet
Host: BE
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
EVERY - Send the beacon at regular intervals.
AFTER - Send the beacon after the specified time interval without activity.
"n" - 0 to 250 sets beacon timing in ten-second intervals.
"0" - Zero turns off the beacon (default).
_______________________________________________________________________________
The BEACON command sets the conditions under which your beacon will be sent.
A beacon frame contains the text that you've typed into the BTEXT message in a
packet addressed to the UNPROTO address. When the keyword EVERY is specified a
beacon packet is sent every "n" times ten seconds. When AFTER is specified, a
beacon is sent after "n" times ten seconds have passed without packet activity.
If you set the BEACON timing less than "90" - a value judged as too short for
busy channels - you'll see the following message at each command prompt:
WARNING: BEACON too often

BItinv "n" Default: $00
Mode: RTTY
Host: BI
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
"n" - 0 to $1F, (0 to 31 decimal) specifies a number to be exclusive-ORed
with every received Baudot character. BITINV 0 is plain text.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Bit inversion is used to prevent listeners from reading some commercial Baudot
transmissions. Usually either 2 or 3 bits of each character are inverted to
give the appearance of an encrypted transmission. Try different settings of
BITINV on a Baudot signal after the baud rate has been determined. If you are
interested encrypted transmissions try experimenting with the 5BIT command.

BKondel ON|OFF
Default: ON
Mode: All
Host: BK
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - The sequence is echoed when a character
is deleted from the input line.
OFF - The character is echoed when a character is deleted.
_______________________________________________________________________________
BKONDEL determines how character deletion is displayed in Command or Converse
mode. When BKONDEL is ON (default) the sequence
is produced which updates the video display screen erasing the character.
On a printing terminal the sequence will result in
overtyped text. Set BKONDEL OFF if you have a paper-output display, or if your
terminal does not respond to the character . When BKONDEL
is OFF the PK-232 displays a for each character you delete. You can
get a display of the corrected input by typing the REDISPLAY-line character.
