PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-14 139
Set ALFDISP ON if the PK-232's sign-on message lines are typed over each other. Set ALFDISP OFF
if the PK-232's sign-on message is double spaced. ALFDISP is set correctly if the PK-232's sign-on
message is single spaced.
ALFPack ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: AP
Parameters: ON - A <LF> character IS added after each <CR> sent in outgoing packets.
OFF - A <LF> is NOT added to outgoing packets (default).
ALFPACK is similar to ALFDISP, except that the <LF> characters are added to outgoing (transmit-
ted) packets, rather than to text displayed locally.
o If the person you are talking to reports overprinting of packets from your station, set
ALFPACK ON. ALFPACK is disabled in Transparent Mode.
ALFRtty ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: Baudot/ASCII RTTY Host: AR
Parameters: ON - A line feed character <LF> IS sent after each carriage return <CR>.
OFF - A <LF> is NOT sent after each <CR>.
If ALFRTTY is set ON when transmitting Baudot or ASCII RTTY, a line feed character is added and
sent automatically after each <CR> character you type.
Use this option when you are typing into the transmit buffer and don't want to be bothered worry-
ing about line length. You should NOT use this option when retransmitting text received from an-
other station; for example, ARRL Bulletins.
o ALFRTTY has no effect in AMTOR; a line feed is automatically added after each carriage re-
turn.
AList Immediate Command
Mode: AMTOR Host: AL
ALIST is an immediate command that switches your PK-232 into the ARQ Listen mode. You can
usually monitor a contact between two linked stations using the ARQ Listen mode (also called
Mode L). This mode may need a few seconds to phase or acquire synchronization with the other
stations. Your ability to synchronize with the master station depends on operating conditions such
as interference. Your monitor will display all the retries if the linked stations that you are monitor-
ing are experiencing ARQ errors.
Type ALIST (or AL) repeatedly if you lose synchronization.
