CD INTERNAL l EXTERNAL l SOFTWARE
Default INTERNAL/INTERNAL
When set to INTERNAL, the KAM Plus will detect a signal when any energy is present on the audio
input to the KAM Plus. When set to EXTERNAL, the signal detection is supplied by an external de-
vice, connected to the XCD pin of the radio port. When set to SOFTWARE, the firmware in the KAM
Plus will detect a signal based on the presence of PACKET data on the audio input. This setting al-
lows open-squelch Operation. Proper equalization is important for correct operation of software
carrier detection.
When operating RTTY or ASCII, the KAM Plus will use only INTERNAL or EXTERNAL. If this com-
mand is set to SOFTWARE, the KAM Plus will act as though it were set to INTERNAL when operat-
ing these modes.

Default 0
This command specifies the time interval, in 10 second increments, used to check the condition of
a PACKET connection if no data is passing between the connected stations. If AX25L2V2 is ON, the
KAM Plus will send a "check" packet every n × 10 seconds to insure the other Station is still re-
sponding. If AX25L2V2 is OFF and n × 10 seconds has passed with no data being transferred, the
KAM Plus will send a disconnect to the other station. Setting CHECK to Ø disables the automatic
check function.

CMSg ON | OFF | DISC | PBBS
Default OFF/OFF
When OFF, the custom text stored in CTEXT will not be sent to a connecting station. When ON, the
custom text will be sent. When set to DISC, the custom text will be sent, and then your KAM Plus
will disconnect from that station When set to PBBS, the custom text will be sent to the connecting
station and then the connection will automatically be transferred to your PBBS, if it is available. If
the PBBS is not available, the KAM Plus will disconnect from the station.

CODe [AMTOR | RTTY] [ITA2 | US | LCRTTY | APLINK | MARS]
Default AMTOR ITA2/RTTY ITA2]
This command allows you to select the alphabet used to send and receive RTTY and AMTOR. ITA2
uses the International Telegraph Alphabet Number 2, US selects the U.S. character set (not avail-
able in AMTOR), LCRTTY provides a complete upper/lower case character set, and APLINK uses
the full printable character set developed by G3PLX and W5SMM (currently used on APLINK BBS
systems). When set to MARS, special characters can be used as required by the Military Affiliate
Radio System. (See the MARS Feature section of this manual.)
