<Ctrl+C> 0 directive. If the change fails to occur for any reason, the KAM’98
will revert to the speed it was operating at prior to the <Ctrl+C> 1 directive.
If you are the IRS and wish to speed up, you can use the <Ctrl+C> 2 directive to
switch to 200 baud, or the <Ctrl+C> 3 directive to switch to 300 baud. The
KAM’98 will then send the proper speed change command to the other unit, and
if the command is successful, your KAM’98 will not request the other unit to
slow down even if the band conditions change, unless you set the KAM’98 back
to auto-speed with <Ctrl+C> 0 directive. We strongly recommend that you leave
your KAM’98 in the automatic baud rate selection mode.
G-TOR mailbox
Your KAM’98 allows access to its PBBS (mailbox) using GTOR mode. To en-
able a user to access the PBBS on GTOR, you must set the ARQBBS command
ON and place your KAM’98 in the GTOR Standby mode.
If you link to another station who is using a KAM’98, you will normally commu-
nicate with the operator at the other end. If that station has the ARQBBS com-
mand ON, you will automatically be connected to the PBBS and will receive the
mailbox prompt.
Formatting Data
When operating G-TOR, several of the KAM’98 commands, including the fol
-
lowing, will apply in formatting your transmitted data.
CRADD adds a CR after every CR you send from the terminal.
LFADD adds a LF after every CR you send from the terminal.
CRSUP suppresses EVERY OTHER consecutive CR from the TNC.
LFSUP suppresses all LF characters from the TNC.
You should remember that any special characters defined in the KAM’98 (DISP
C) must be “passed” in order to transmit them from a standard terminal program.
Hints for G-TOR Operation
If you choose to use the FSK mode of your transceiver, you must connect the
FSK output from the KAM’98 to the FSK input of your radio. The actual tones
transmitted are controlled by your radio in this mode, and you must set your
Non-Packet Modes of Communication G-TOR Mode
