PK-232 OPERATING MANUAL Pactor OPERATION
11.7 Pactor Operating Tips
The following 'Special Function characters" and immediate commands are
included for Pactor operating convenience.
Immediate Commands from the Command Mode:
'PT" Selects the Pactor mode
"PACTO" Selects the Pactor mode as above
"PTConn <CALL>" Starts a linked connect and forces Converse
"PTSend" Starts an unproto transmission and forces Converse
“R” Stops sending immediately, forces Pactor Standby
"PTList" Allows reception of both unproto and linked
transmissions
'PTHUFF <ON/OFF>' Off - prevents Huffman compression on - allows
automatic use of compression
'PT200 <ON/OFF>- Off - prevents 200 baud operation On - allows
automatic speed selection
'PTOver<$HH>' Used to select the change overcharacter. Defaults
to <CTRL-Z> ($lA)
Special Function Characters embedded in transmitted text:
<CTRL-B> Sends your AAB string as a HERE-IS message
<CTRL-D> Stops sending when the transmit buffer is empty
<CTRL-E> Sends a "Who Are You" request to the other station
<CTRL-F> Same as CTRL-D but sends your callsign in Morse
<CTRL-T> Sends the TIME if the DAYTIME clock has been set
<CTRL-Z> Changes your PK-232 from send (ISS) to receive
(IRS).
11.7.1 ARO Break-In (ACHG Command)
In the linked or connected mode, (ARQ), when you're the "Information
Receiving Station," you can use the “ACHG" command to interrupt the
distant station's comments.
As the "Information Receiving Station," you normally rely on the distant
station to send the "<CTRL-Z>" to “change-over" at the end of his
comments. ACHC is a command that forces both systems to reverse the
"Information Receiving" and "Information Sending" status of the link.
• Use the ACHG command only when really needed to interrupt the
distant station.
