CODE 4: Katakana
Katakana is the-phonetic character set used in Japan for spelling out words of foreign (to Japan)
origin. The Japanese also use Katakana for Morse and some computer communication. There are
about 5O Katakana characters. CODE 4 translates the Katakana Morse code into an 8-bit extended
version of ASCII. The characters displayed are generally in the range from $AO to $DF, except for
numerals and punctuation. If you are using CODE 4, remember to set the PK-232 for AWLEN 8,
PARITY 0 and 8BITCONV ON.
CODE 5: Transliterated Katakana
This is similar to CODE 4, except that the extended ASCII is transliterated into English equivalents
for easier reading. The Morse characters are translated into 2- and 3-letter syllables.
CODE 6: European
This is primarily for users with German language terminals. The differences in Morse coding are as
follows:
Morse CODE 0 CODE 6
·-·- $5B $5B
---· $5C $5C
··-- $5E $5D
·--·- $5D
In addition, CODE 6 avoids the use of square brackets ($5B, $5D) in monitored packet headers
and maildrop prompts, using parentheses instead.
US ASCII square bracket characters are used as extended alphabetic characters in most languages
outside of English.
