PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-39 164
ERrchar "n" Default: $5F (_)
Mode: AMTOR, Morse, NAVTEX and TDM Host: ER
Parameters: "n" - A hexadecimal value from $00-$7F used to denote the error character used
by the PK-232 for Morse, ARQ, FEC, NAVTEX and TDM.
"n" is a hex value $00-7F, default $5F (underscore). This is the character that the PK-232 displays
when it receives a mutilated character in Morse, ARQ, FEC, NAVTEX or TDM. The user may wish to
set this character to $2A (asterisk), $07 (bell), $20 (space) or $00 (null). ERRCHAR ON or ER Y re-
stores the default.
EScape ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: All Host: ES
Parameters: ON - The <ESCAPE> character ($1B) is output as "$" ($24).
OFF - The <ESCAPE> character is output as <ESCAPE> ($1B) (default).
The ESCAPE command selects the character to be output when an <ESCAPE> character is to be
sent to the terminal. The ESCAPE character selection is provided because some computers and ter-
minals interpret the <ESCAPE> character as a special command. Set ESCAPE ON if you have an
<ESCAPE> sensitive terminal to avoid unexpected results from accidentally receiving this charac-
ter.
FAx Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: FA
FAX is an immediate command that switches your PK-232 into the facsimile mode. The FAX mode
is available only if the maildrop (or FREE command) shows at least 3742 bytes free. You must kill
MailDrop messages until the number reaches this level if you wish to operate FAX.
FAXNeg ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: FAX Host: FN
Parameters: ON - The white and black senses are reversed.
OFF - The white and black senses are normal.
One might use FAXNEG ON when receiving an image consisting mostly of black, as in a satellite
photo. In this case it might help to save your printer ribbon, as well as accentuating features such
as cloud cover.
FAXNEG ON is NOT the same as RXREV ON. RXREV reverses the entire signal, including the sync
pulses. FAXNEG keeps the sync pulses so that they can be recognized, but reverses the image da-
ta.
FEc Immediate Command
Mode: AMTOR Mode B Host: FE
FEC is an immediate command that starts an AMTOR FEC (Mode B) transmission. Use FEC for CQ
calls in AMTOR. Be sure to include your SELCALL and MYIDENT code in your CQ message so that
the distant station can call you back in ARQ.
