Of the commands listed in the Quick Reference guide, a few brief descriptions may help show
the purpose of the commands. Full details of ALL the KAM Plus commands are found in the
Reference Manual.
BKONDEL may be set to ON or OFF. While typing a line to send to a friend, you may make
some mistakes. When you press the backspace key, you would like your screen to show exactly
what will be transmitted. To do this, you need BKONDEL ON. When operating in a non-packet
mode, this will only correct your screen display if the data you are trying to erase has not
already been sent to the other user.
ECHO may be set ON or OFF. When ON, the KAM Plus echoes everything you type. With
a split-screen terminal program like Pacterm, you want this command OFF, since Pacterm
displays the characters you type in a separate window. If you aren't using a split-screen
program and everything you type appears double Oliikkee tthhiiss) then you need to set
ECHO OFF.
TXDELAY causes a delay between the time the KAM Plus activates the Push-to-Talk of your
radio and the time it actually starts sending packet data. All radios take some definite amount
oftime to switch into transmit, and the default setting of 30 (300 milliseconds) is normally
enough. Hand-held radios, however, are usually very slow to switch into transmit, so you must
allow a longer time. We would recommend a setting of 50 as a good starting point for hand-held
radios. With the KAM Plus, you can set the TXDELAY for the HF port to one value, and the
TXDELAY for the VHF port to a different value. This is done by specifying two values
separated with a / character as arguments to the command. For instance typing TXDELAY
30/50 at the command prompt sets the HF TXDELAY to 30 (300 milliseconds) and the VHF
TXDELAY to 50 (500 milliseconds).
DAYTIME is used to set the clock in your KAM Plus. The format of the command is:
DAYTIME yymmddhhmmss
The yy is the two digit year, followed by mm (two-digit month), dd (two-digit day), hh (two-digit
hour in 24 hour format), mm (two-digit minute) and ss (two-digit seconds). So, to set your clock
for April 15, 1993 at 4:25 pm, you type:
DAYTIME 930415162500
