Default 192/63
This command sets the value used to determine the probability of transmitting a packet after
SLOTTIME expires. This method of determining access to the radio channel has proven more effi-
cient in sharing the frequency than using the DWAIT method. The higher the PERSIST value, the
more likely it is that your station will transmit when the channel is clear. A reasonable rule-of-
thumb for selecting the PERSIST value is to divide 256 by the number of users on the channel at
the same time. Using this method allows many users to share the channel and still be successful in
passing their data.

PHClear Not in v8.2
Immediate command
This command will clear the list of stations who have connected to the PBBS.
PHeard
Immediate command
This command will display a list of stations that have recently connected to your KAM Plus PBBS.
The list will show the callsign of the connecting stations and the time they connected and discon-
nected.
PId ON | OFF
Default OFF/OFF
When OFF, only those packets with a protocol ID of $F0 (pure AX.25) are displayed. When ON, all
packets are displayed. Some of the information in non-AX.25 packets (Net/Rom, TCP/IP etc.) can
cause strange displays on monitoring stations. The header line of monitored frames will show the
PID in curly braces.
PMode NONE | ASCII | AMTOR | CW | FEC | GTOR | RTTY | NAVTEX | PACTOR | TOR v7.1
Default NONE
When set to NONE, the KAM Plus will display the Kantronics sign-on message and cmd: prompt
when power is first applied to the unit, entering the PACKET Mode of operation. When set to any
other value, the KAM Plus will not send a sign-on message, but will enter the specified mode on
the HF port. NOTE: If set to FEC or NAVTEX, you will not receive any message on your terminal
when the unit is powered up. To exit any of these modes, type [Ctrl-C] then the letter [X].

PMode NONE | CONV | TRANS | RTTY | ASCII | AMTOR | PACTOR | GTOR | TOR | CW v8.0
Default None
The PMODE command controls the mode your KAM Plus will be in when it is first powered up or
reset. When set to NONE, the KAM Plus will produce a sign-on message followed by the command
prompt (cmd:). When set to CONV, the unit will be in Convers Mode. Setting PMODE TRANS sets
the KAM Plus in Transparent Mode. Exiting Transparent Mode with three [Ctrl-C]s will set the
PMODE command to the default value (NONE).
