PACTOR Option Addendum
KAM EPROM Version 6.1
Thank you for purchasing the PACTOR Option for your KAM. We believe you'll find many hours of
enjoyment and many new friends as you explore this new digital mode.
The enclosed EPROM for your KAM contains some minor changes since the original release, ver-
sion 6.0. The manual indicates (on pages 3 and 10) that you must use the PTLISTEN mode to
monitor PACTOR transmissions. By popular demand, this has been changed in version 6.1 to allow
monitoring in Standby Mode too.
To monitor PACTOR in Standby Mode, set the MONITOR command to ON/XXX and the ARQBBS
command to OFF. In PACTOR Standby Mode, you can also transmit FEC by typing Ctrl-C T and re-
turn to receive by typing Ctrl-C E.
We've also added the NAVLOG command, an immediate command, to display a list of NAVTEX
messages that have been properly received in the NAVTEX Mode.
