freeing up the RS-232 port to fully support a laptop or computer. In
addition, the AUX port may be used as a “disconnect header,” enabling
the attachment of an experiment modem.

Like the new family of packet units, the KPC-3 Plus and KPC-9612 Plus
(and the KWM-1200P, and KWM-9612P for commercial use), audio
drive is supported by digital potentiometers. Hence, radio drive may be
set by command: XMITLVL, or CAL. The calibrate command enables
you to send mark, space, mixed, or square wave signals to the radio for
setting SSB ALC or FM deviation drive level from your keyboard, using
the “+” or “-” keys to increase/decrease drive.
•
Power consumption by the The KAM’98 is less than half that which the
KAM Plus consumes.
• Finally, as above, the KAM’98 adds some new commands not found in
the KAM Plus and deletes some found there. For example, the SHIFT
command used in the KAM Plus has been eliminated; mark and space
tones used by the AFSK radio port modem are set simply by the MARK
and SPACE commands. Tone frequencies may be individually set from
50 to 2400 Hertz. Programmability of the AFSK tones makes the
KAM’98 extremely flexible and easy to match with radios for a variety
of applications.
