PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-12 137
ACRPack ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: Packet Host: AK
Parameters: ON - The send-packet character IS added to packets sent in Converse Mode.
OFF - The send-packet character is NOT added to packets.
When ACRPACK is ON (default), all packets sent in Converse Mode include the SEND-PACket char-
acter (normally <CR>) as the last character of the packet.
When ACRPACK is OFF, the send-packet character is interpreted as a command, and is not in-
cluded in the packet or echoed to the terminal.
ACRPACK ON and SENDPAC $0D produce a natural conversational mode.
ACRRtty "n" Default: 71 (69 in AMTOR)
Mode: Baudot/ASCII RTTY Host: AT
Parameters: "n" - 0 – 255 specifies the number of characters on a line before a carriage return
<CR> is automatically inserted in your transmitted text.
0 (Zero) disables the function.
When sending Baudot or ASCII RTTY, the ACRRTTY feature automatically sends a carriage return
at the first space following the "nth" character or column.
Use this option when you are sending and don't want to be bothered by watching the screen or
worrying about line length. You should NOT use this option when retransmitting text received from
another station; for example, ARRL Bulletins.
ACRRTTY is used in AMTOR, except that AMTOR is limited by international telex practices to a max-
imum of 69 characters per line. If ACRRTTY is set to 71, in AMTOR the automatic carriage return
function operates after 69 characters.
ADDress "n" Default: $0000
Mode: ALL Host: AE
Parameters: "n" - Zero to 65,535 ($0 to $FFFF) setting an Address in the PK-232 memory.
The ADDRESS sets an address somewhere in the PK-232's memory map. This command is usually
used with the IO, MEMORY and the PK commands. It is used primarily by programmers and is of
little use without the PK-232 Technical Manual.
ADelay "n" Default: 4 (40 msec.)
Mode: AMTOR Host: AD
Parameters: "n" - 1 to 9 specifies transmitter key-up delay in 10-millisecond intervals.
ADELAY is the length of time in tens of milliseconds between the time when the PK-232 activates
the transmitter's PTT line and the ARQ data begins to flow. The ADELAY command allows you to
adjust a variable delay, from 10 to 90 milliseconds to handle the PTT (Push-to-Talk) delay of differ-
ent transmitters.
