The

automatic

feature

keeps

a

packet

retransmitting

a

packet

and

cial

conditions

you

can

set

(the

If

unacknowledged

data

packets

existed

at

the

time

of

the

disconection,

the

packet

controller

will

send

all

of

these

data

packets

as

Unnumbered

Information

(UI)

frames.

To

prevent

the

dummies

of

these

frames

over

the

air,

set

the

command

TXUlfram

OFF.

Ifyou

have

a

connection

established

but

wish

to

change

the

path

being

used

(the

sequence

listed

after

the

in

the

connect

command)

use

the

REConnect

command.

This

com-

mand

ample,

if

Monitoring

Channel

Activity

The

on

the

channel.

Monitoring

Ifyou

also

want

to

see

any

intermediate

you

can

set

This

feature

would

be

useful

if

connect

to

one

of

the

stations

monitoring

and

vail

need

a

digipeater

route

in

sent

from

KF4EF

via

If

there

are

several

digipeaters,

or

if

the

lines

are

long,

the

may

be

difficult

to

read.

You

can

put

Ordinarily,

your

packet

while

connected

to

a

packet

station,

set
