Lock
Immediate Command
Mode: Morse/Baudot/AMTOR/FAX
Host: LO
_______________________________________________________________________________
AMTOR and Baudot: LOCK is an immediate command used to force a LETTERS shift
in the received data. This can be helpful if noise has garbled the LTRS
character causing FIGURES to be displayed.
FAX: This is a manual start command for FAX. Normally the transmitting
station starts a FAX image with sync pulses so that the receiver automatically
lines up with the edge of the paper. If you tune in a signal too late, or there
is so much noise that the sync pulses are not detected, you can start reception
manually with the LOCK command. If you issue a LOCK to the PK-232, you will
probably need to use the JUSTIFY command to properly align the image.
Morse: LOCK is an immediate command that instructs the PK-232 to lock its
timing to the current measured speed of a Morse signal. The LOCK command may
improve the PK-232's ability to decode CW signals in the presence of high noise
levels.

MAildrop ON|OFF
Default: OFF
Mode: Packet
Host: MV
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - The PK-232MBX operates as a personal packet BBS or MailDrop.
OFF - The PK-232MBX only operates as a normal AX.25 Level 2 TNC (default).
_______________________________________________________________________________
The PK-232's MailDrop is a personal mailbox that uses a subset of the
W0RLI/WA7MBL PBBS commands. When your MailDrop is ON, other stations can
connect to your PK-232MBX, leave messages for you or read messages from you.
Third-party messages are not accepted by your MailDrop unless 3RDPARTY is ON.
See the MDCHECK, MDPROMPT, MDMON, MTEXT, MMSG and MYMAIL commands.

MARsdisp ON|OFF
Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot and AMTOR, RTTY
Host: MW
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - The PK-232 translates received LTRS characters to a , and
FIGS characters to a and sends these to the terminal.
OFF - The PK-232 operates as before in Baudot and AMTOR (default).
_______________________________________________________________________________
The MARSDISP command permits the Baudot and AMTOR operator to detect and display
every character including LTRS and FIGS sent by the other station. The ACRDISP
and ALFDISP may be turned off to prevent extraneous carriage-returns and
Linefeeds from being sent to the display. If this data is retransmitted,
ACRRTTY should be 0, and ALFRTTY should be OFF. The and
characters will send LTRS and FIGS respectively.
