PK-232 MBX Operating Manual - N3UJJ

_______________________________________________________________________________
MAXframe "n" Default: 4
Mode: Packet
Host: MX
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
"n" - 1 to 7 signifies a number of packet frames.
_______________________________________________________________________________
MAXFRAME limits the number of unacknowledged packets your PK-232 permits on the
radio link, and the number of contiguous packets your PK-232 will send in a
single transmission.
The "best" value of MAXFRAME depends on your local channel conditions. In most
cases of local keyboard operation, the default value of MAXFRAME 4 works well.
When the amount of traffic is heavy, the path in use is poor or you are using
many digipeaters, you can actually improve your throughput by reducing MAXFRAME.
Use MAXFRAME 1 for best results on HF packet.

MBEll ON|OFF
Default: OFF
Mode: Packet
Host: ME
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - Will send 3 BELL characters to the terminal when the callsign(s) of
the station(s) monitored match the MFROM and MTO lists.
OFF - As is, that is the PK-232 will not send any BELL characters to the
terminal due to MONITORED packets.
_______________________________________________________________________________
MBELL can be used to alert the user to the presence of particular packet
station(s) on the frequency. For example if you want to be alerted when N7ML
comes on frequency you would set the following:
MBELL ON MONITOR 4 MFROM yes N7ML MTO NONE
When MBELL is ON, packets from and to all stations are displayed, but only those
packets matching the MFROM and MTO lists cause the bell to ring.

MBx call1[,call2][-"n"][ALL]
Default: none
Mode: Packet
Host: MB
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
call - The call signs of one or two stations to be monitored.
"n" - 0 to 15, indicating an optional SSID.
_______________________________________________________________________________
The MBX command permits you to read or record useful or needed data without
having to connect or log on to the source station(s).
MBX filters the received packet data so that only packets from the selected
station(s) are shown, without headers or repeated frames. MBX overrides normal
monitor functions and can show one or both sides of a conversation.
The operation of MBX command is as follows:
