OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Special
Characters
If
you
want
to
monitor
without
the
display
of
any
callsigns,
set
Ddrdisp
OFF.
This
would
cause
the
last
example
above
to
be
displayed
as:
| Hello Bill!
The
ADdrdisp
command
is
mainly
useful
to
monitor
the
packets
from
a
single
station.
Use
the
commands
LCAlls
and
BUdlist
to
limit
monitored
packets
to
those
of
one
station.
If
monitored
frames
seem
to
be
double
spaced
when
using
ADdrdisp,
set
CRAfter
OFF.
To
display
a
list
of
stations
heard
since
the
last
time
your
packet
controller
was
powered
up,
type
the
command
MHeard.
The
last
eighteen
packet
stations
heard
by
your
packet
controller
are
displayed.
The
enuy
“K4NTA*”
means
that
K4NTA
was
heard
via
a
digipeater
rather
than
directly.
If
the
time-of-day
clock
is
set,
the
date
and
time
each
station
was
most
recently
heard
will
also
be
displayed.
The Heard Log has an expanded format which includes the type
of station heard. If the received frames can be identified proper-
ba
term
NODE,
BBS,
or
PMS
will
be
added
to
the
Heard
g entry following
the
callsign
for that
station.
Nodes are identified by the transmission of a level 3 type of
frame. BBS and PMS stations are identified by an identification
field of the format [XXX-xcx], e.g.[PMS-3.0-C$]. Some BBS
programs do not conform to this format and will not be iden-
tified in the Heard Log. Nodes may be misidentified when
handling BBS or PMS messages.
