Subject: Packet modems and Windows CE portables
Hi Folks,
Is anyone out there using any Windows CE handheld portable connected to
a packet modem (in my case a PK12) to access the DX cluster? My ancient
Atari Portfolio (8086 handheld) has finally totally failed and I'm
having difficulty tracking down terminal software for Win CE. Nothing
special just something that makes it behave as a dumb terminal is all
that is needed.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Duncan

Subject: Packet with an HT
Has anybody successfully operated packet mode with a Yaesu VX-5R? The
manual says you can, and shows how to make the interface cable. I did
that. Hooked it to a Timewave PK-12.
But the PK-12 is rejecting a large number of incoming packets unless the
signal is really booming in strongly. (I set WHYNOT ON to see why packets
are ignored, and it reports lots of "PASSALL" errors, which means the
packets are ignored due to incorrect CRCs.)
The guy I spoke to at Timewave said the PK-12 is pretty immune to incorrect
setting of receiver volume - I have the volume set at about 10-oclock. I
did have to turn the PK-12's output level down condiderably to meet Yaesu's
spec that the level in to the mic jack be just 5mv.
Would a 2m preamp help? Any other tips? I live in a very rural area.

Dear Russell:
I am having a similar problem to yours. My new computer using Windows 98 will
not control my PK-232 or PK-12 which worked just fine with my old 486 system
running Windows 3.1. At he same time my Toshiba Laptop which uses Windows 95
works just fine with either TU. I've also tried starting my new computer in
DOS mode and using an old relaible DOS program (LanLink) and it still won't
work. So I've concluded it's not the operating system and am beginning to
suspect the motherboard in the new computer, the Abit BH6.
The BH6 board has two built in com ports and neither will control the PK232. I
would suspect an electrical problem (a bad board component or something)
except
for the fact that late one night when I was changing parameters and trying
this
and that it began to work. However, when I re-booted next day it would no
longer work. I suspect there is a BIOS parameter I'm overlooking and have
tried to find someone using Win98 and the BH6 motherboard to compare
parameters
but to no avail.
Just our of curiosity, what motherboard does ur new compuer use?
Frustrating, huh!!! Let me know if you make any progress and I'll do the
same.

It sounds a lot like you have been assimilated by Plug&Pray junk...

Subject: PK-232MBX CW mode
I have a PK-232MBX with version 7.1 chips in it. I enter into CW (morse)
mode by entering X at the command prompt however I can't get out of transmit
mode with a CTRL-D. I've used a few different terminal programs and this
problem is consistent. Has anybody have this problem and/or know how to
solve it?
Thanks and 73, Tom NJ2DX

Never mind folks... There was a misprint in my manual and it should have
stated CTRL-C not CTRL-D...

I was wondering if anyone could steer me towards a downloadable term program
for RTTY. I have a Kantronics KAM All-Mode, and I'm looking to get on some
HF RTTY. Haven't been on in quite some time. 73's, Nathan KA3MTT
