PK232CMD.LST (PART 2 OF 4)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOP 'n' DEFAULT: $13 <CTRL-S>
MODES: ALL
'n' = $00 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal)
"n" specifies an ASCII character code for the User STOP
character. (See explination for START).
TBAUD 'n' DEFAULT: 1200 bauds
MODES: ALL
'n' specifies the PK232 to Computer baud rate.
The baud rate set by TBAUD will take effect upon the next
power-on or RESTART command.
Baud Rates: 45, 50, 57, 75, 100, 110, 150, 200, 300, 400,
600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600.
TCLEAR
MODES: ALL
For Baudot/ASCII/AMTOR/MORSE - TCLEAR clears the PK232
transmit buffer and cancels any further
transmission of data.
For PACKET mode - All data is cleared except for a few
remaining packets.
TCLEAR must be used from COMMAND MODE.
TIME 'n' DEFAULT: $14 <CTRL-T>
MODES: ALL
'n' = $00 to $7F ( 0 to 127 decimal)
'n' specifies the control character for embedding the
TIME command into your message text or file.
At transmit time, the PK232 reads the embedded control
code (default = CTRL-T), reads the time from the PK232
internal clock, and then sends the time to the radio
in the data transmission code currently in use at the time.
If DAYSTAMP is ON, the date is transmitted with the time.
TRACE (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: PACKET/FAX
ON - Trace function is activated.
OFF - Trace function is disabled.
Activates AX.25 protocol display. When TRACE is ON, all
received frames are displayed in their entirety, including
all header information. (See pg 6-101 of manual for more
details).
If TRACE is ON, PRFAX is OFF and the mode is FAX, the graphics
escape sequences and dot data are sent to the terminal with
each byte expanded to 2 hexadecimal characters (ascii hex
dump). This gets around the limitation of many terminal
programs, that do not allow 8-bit data to be saved to disk as
an ASCII file. A small program could be used to re-translate
the ascii hex back into a binary file. (pg M-29 of Pk232
manual has small IBM Basic program to do this.)
TRFLOW (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
ON - Software flow control for the computer or terminal
can be activated in Transparent mode.
OFF - Software flow control for the computer or terminal
is disabled in Transparent mode.
If TRFLOW is ON, START and STOP determine the flow control
characters to use for software flow control in Transparent
mode.
If TRFLOW is OFF, Only hardware flow control is available
to the computer, (RTS, CTS). All characters received by
the PK232 are transmitted as data.
TXDELAY n DEFAULT: 30
MODES: Packet, Baudot, and ASCII.
n = 0 to 120 ten millisecond intervals.
TXDELAY sets the delay between PTT and and the start of
transmitted data. ARQ still uses ADELAY.
TXREV (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: Baudot/ASCII/AMTOR
ON - Transmit data polarity is reversed. (mark-space reversal).
OFF - Transmit data polarity is normal.
If TXREV is ON, mark and space are reversed in the AFSK and
FSK transmitted signals.
WIDESHFT (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: Baudot/ ASCII Rtty
ON - RTTY tones are shifted 1000 Hz.
OFF - RTTY tones are shifted 200 Hz (emulates 170 Hz shift).
WORDOUT (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: All modes except PACKET.
Determines whether or not you can edit while entering text
for transmission.
ON - Typed characters are held in the transmit buffer until
a space character or punctuation is typed.
OFF - Typed characters are sent directly to the transmitter.
The ENQ character ($05) <CTRL-E> will also cause the
release of a word, as will space, CR, LF, tab, RECEIVE or
CWID character.
WRU (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: Baudot/ASCII/AMTOR ARQ
ON - Your answerback is sent after a distant station's WRU?
OFF - Your answerback is not sent after a distant station's
WRU?
If WRU is ON, PK232 sends the text in AAB text field.
In AMTOR ARQ, your answerback will automatically send
"+?", the changeover command, to the distant station
to maintain the link.
NOTE: In AMTOR, WRU is ALWAYS ON.
XFLOW (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: ALL
ON - XON/XOFF software flow control is activated.
OFF - XON/XOFF flow control is disabled. Hardware flow
control is enabled.
If XFLOW is ON, the terminal or computer is expected to
respond to the PK232 START and STOP characters defined by
the XON and XOFF commands.
If XFLOW is OFF, the PK232 sends hardware flow commands
via the RTS hardware line.
For full hardware control in BOTH directions, set START,
STOP, XON, and XOFF to $00.
XOFF 'n' DEFAULT: $13 <CTRL-S>
MODES: ALL
'n' = $00 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal)
Selects the STOP character to be used to stop input from the
computer or terminal.
XON 'n' DEFAULT: $11 <CTRL-Q>
MODES: ALL
'n' = $00 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal)
Selects the PK232 START character that is sent to the
computer or terminal to restart input from that device.

ON - Priority acknowledgement is enabled.
When a busy channel condition clears (DCD LED OFF),
DATA Acknowledgements will be sent immediately, while
data and poll bits are held off long enough to prevent
collision with the data acks. ACKS are given priority
so that fewer acks will collide with data from other
stations preventing useless retries.

'BTEXT' command. The Beacon packet is addressed to
'CQ' or other address specified by 'UNPROTO'.
BTEXT text DEFAULT: Empty
Sets the text portion of the beacon packet.
text = up to 120 characters and spaces.
A multiple line message can be sent by including a <CR>
character in the text. <CR> is inserted by typing the

output in Command Mode. Type CANCEL-PACKET again to
restore the display output.
CASEDISP 'n' DEFAULT: 0 (as is)
Sets the case of the characters that the PK232 sends to the
terminal.
'n' = 0 'As is' characters are not changed.
