Some commercial HF-Internal gateway stations use SITOR mode (compatible
with AMTOR as implemented in the KAM’98) to process radio telex
ship-to-shore messages. See the Kantronics website (www.kantronics.com) for
articles on HF e-mail.
ASCII Operation
To operate ASCII mode with your KAM’98, you must first have the Command
prompt (cmd:). Type ASCII and press return. This places the KAM’98 in ASCII
mode. The ASCBAUD command controls the baud rate of the transmitted data.
If you want to operate ASCII at a different speed, enter the ASCII mode and
specify the speed on the command line (e.g., ASCII 200), then press return.
When you enter the ASCII mode, the KAM’98 sends the mode and speed indica-
tion to your terminal:
—ASCII 110—
The KAM’98 is now in the receive mode and will decode a properly tuned ASCII
signal and display the information on your terminal.
+ Note: If AUTOSTRT is ON, received ASCII will not be displayed until the
KAM’98 receives the characters contained in your MYAUTOST parameter.
To transmit ASCII, type <Ctrl+C> T. The KAM’98 then keys your transmitter,
the bargraph on the KAM’98 goes dark, and the transmit LED lights up. Type the
message you wish to send and when you are through, type <Ctrl+C>E. The
KAM’98 will transmit your message and, when the data has all been transmitted,
will return to the receive status.
You may change speeds while you are in the ASCII mode by using the
<Ctrl+C>n directives listed below. To leave the ASCII mode and return to Com
-
mand mode, type <Ctrl+C> X.
