Kantronics KAM 98 - HF Non-Packet Functions (for Kams Only); Commands that Work Differently in HF Non-Packet Mode

HF Non-Packet Functions (For KAMs Only)
This section is not relevant to TNC users. It is included as part of a full descrip
-
tion of Pacterm and as brief documentation for users of Kantronics’ KAM TNCs
with the following HF non-packet modes:
•
RTTY
•
ASCII
•
AMTOR
•
PACTOR
• G-TOR
• CW
As noted above, pressing F3 switches Pacterm between use with Packet and use
with HF Non-Packet.
+ Hint: When Pacterm is set to work with HF non-packet modes of communica-
tion, you can send a CTRL+C code to the TNC either by using the appropriate
Pacterm function or by entering the CTRL+C key sequence from the keyboard.
Commands that Work Differently in HF Non-Packet Mode
When Pacterm is in HF non-packet mode, the following commands have an “X”
added to the string of characters they send to the TNC:
•
F9 = Go to “Command Mode.”
+
Hint: To change from one HF Non-Packet mode to another, you need to
return to the TNC’s Command Mode, so your TNC will be able to accept
the command for the next HF non-packet mode. You can do this without
using F3 to switch to Packet mode, if you are just switching from one HF
non-packet mode to another. If you do want to switch to Packet use of
your TNC, press F9 to go to Command Mode, then F3 to switch to
Packet use of your TNC.
•
F10 = Disconnect (Break Link) and Exit to DOS.
