ASCII Operation
To operate ASCII mode with your KAM Plus, you must first have the Command prompt (cmd:).
Type ASCII and press return. This places the KAM Plus in the ASCII mode and the ASCBAUD com-
mand 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 Plus sends the mode and speed indication
to your terminal:
-ASCII 110-
The KAM Plus is now in the receive mode and will decode a properly tuned ASCII signal and dis-
play the information on your terminal. NOTE: If AUTOSTRT is ON, received ASCII will not be dis-
played until the KAM Plus receives the characters contained in your MYAUTOST parameter.
To transmit ASCII, type [Ctrl-C][T]. This causes the KAM Plus to key your transmitter, the bargraph
on the KAM Plus goes dark, and the HF transmit LED lights. Type the message you wish to send
and when you are through, type [Ctrl-C][E]. The KAM Plus will transmit your message and, when
the data has all been transmitted, will return to the receive mode.
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 Command mode, type [Ctrl-C][X].
ASCII Directives
While you are in the ASCII mode, several directives are activated and function as indicated.
[Ctrl-C][E] Return to receive mode when transmit buffer is empty
[Ctrl-C][I] Invert received MARK/SPACE signals and invert transmitted MARK/SPACE if
using AFSK (SSB)
[Ctrl-C][R] Return to receive mode immediately (If the transmit buffer isn't empty the
remaining data will stay in the buffer)
[Ctrl-C][S] Select the next MARK/SPACE shift (170/425/850/MODEM)
[Ctrl-C][T] Enter transmit mode
[Ctrl-C][X] Exit ASCII mode and return to Command mode (PACKET)
