<strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> OPERATING MANUAL<br />

COMMAND SUMMARY<br />

Vhf ON/OFF<br />

Mode: Packet<br />

Parameters:<br />

Default: ON<br />

Host: VH<br />

ON — Packet tones are shifted 1000 Hz.<br />

OFF — Packet tones are shifted 200 Hz.<br />

Use the VHF Command for immediate software control of the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong>'s modem tones.<br />

Changing components or switch settings is not required.<br />

Set VHF ON for VHF operation (default), and set VHF OFF for HF packet operation.<br />

NOTE: Be sure to change HBAUD to 300 bauds when operating below 28 MHz.<br />

WHYnot ON/OFF<br />

Mode: Packet<br />

Parameters:<br />

Default: OFF<br />

Host: WN<br />

ON — The <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> generates a reason why received packets were not<br />

displayed.<br />

OFF — This function is disabled.<br />

During packet operation, the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> may receive many packets that are not<br />

displayed. Turning WHYNOT on will cause the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> to display a message<br />

explaining the reason the received packet was not displayed to the screen. The<br />

messages and their meanings are shown below:<br />

PASSALL:<br />

DCD Threshold:<br />

MONITOR:<br />

MCON:<br />

MPROTO:<br />

MFROM/MTO:<br />

<strong>MBX</strong>:<br />

<strong>MBX</strong> Sequence:<br />

Frame too long:<br />

Frame too short:<br />

RX overrun:<br />

The received packet frame had errors, and PASSALL was off,<br />

preventing the packet from being displayed to the screen.<br />

The Threshold control was set too far counter clockwise. The<br />

DCO LED was off when the packet was received.<br />

The MONITOR value was set too low to receive this frame.<br />

MCON was set too low to receive this type of frame.<br />

MPROTO was set to off, and the received packet was probably a<br />

NET/ROM or TCP/IP frame.<br />

The frame was blocked by the MFROM or MTO command.<br />

The call sign of the sending station does not match the call<br />

sign setting in the <strong>MBX</strong> command.<br />

The frame was received out of sequence, probably a retry.<br />

Incoming packet frame longer than 330 bytes. Probably a non-<br />

AX.25 frame.<br />

Incoming packet frame shorter than 15 bytes. Only seen if<br />

PASSALL ON. Probably noise.<br />

Another HDLC byte was received before we could read the<br />

previous one out of the HDLC chip.<br />
