Getting Started
This chapter gives you important information and examples to get you started using
your packet radio station.
We assume you have installed your station and familiarized yourself with the use of with
your KPC-3 Plus, as covered in the chapters on ―Installing your KPC-3 Plus‖.
If you have not yet installed your station, we suggest that you do so before continuing
with this chapter.
Material covered here includes diagrams, explanations, and mini-tutorials on:
the front panel of the KPC-3 Plus,
beginning a session,
giving commands and transmitting data,
the 22 NEWUSER commands that you will be using most of the time,
using selected NEWUSER commands,
using the Personal Bulletin Board System that is in your KPC-3 Plus,
monitoring transmissions from nearby packet radio stations, and
connecting to another station and initiating a conversation.
Reading this chapter (or just skimming the material, if you are already familiar with
the topics) will also help you use the following chapters on different modes of use of
the KPC-3 Plus, the ―Command Reference‖ chapter, and any appendices that are
relevant to your needs.
