PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-49 174
Occasionally you may come across FAX images that are obviously backwards. Turning LEFTRITE
OFF will reverse the scanning direction.
LIte ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: Packet Host: LI
Parameters: ON - The PK-232 will attempt to use the HF Packet Lite extensions.
OFF - The PK-232 uses AX.25 Level 2 Version 1.0 or 2.0 protocol.
A Packet Lite connection is established only if both stations have LITE ON. As with the AX25L2V2
command, LITE may not be changed if the TNC is in a connected state. Setting LITE ON overrides
the AX25L2V2 setting, and the unit acts as if AX25L2V2 were ON. See the section of the Packet
Chapter (Chapter 4) regarding Packet Lite operation and restrictions.
Lock Immediate Command
Mode: Morse/Baudot/AMTOR/FAX Host: LO
AMTOR and Baudot: LOCK is an immediate command used to force a LETTERS shift in the received
data. This can be helpful if noise has garbled the LTRS character causing FIGURES to be displayed.
FAX: This is a manual start command for FAX. Normally the transmitting station starts a FAX image
with sync pulses so that the receiver automatically lines up with the edge of the paper. If you tune
in a signal too late, or there is so much noise that the sync pulses are not detected, you can start
reception manually with the LOCK command. If you issue a LOCK to the PK-232, you will probably
need to use the JUSTIFY command to properly align the image.
Morse: LOCK is an immediate command that instructs the PK-232 to lock its timing to the current
measured speed of a Morse signal. The LOCK command may improve the PK-232's ability to de-
code CW signals in the presence of high noise levels.
MAildrop ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: MV
Parameters: ON - The PK-232MBX operates as a personal packet BBS or MailDrop.
OFF - The PK-232MBX only operates as a normal AX.25 Level 2 TNC (default).
The PK-232's MailDrop is a personal mailbox that uses a subset of the W0RLI/WA7MBL PBBS com-
mands. When your MailDrop is ON, other stations can connect to your PK-232MBX, leave mes-
sages for you or read messages from you.
Third-party messages are not accepted by your MailDrop unless 3RDPARTY is ON. See the
MDCHECK, MDPROMPT, MDMON, MTEXT, MMSG and MYMAIL commands.
MARsdisp ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot and AMTOR, RTTY Host: MW
Parameters: ON - The PK-232 translates received LTRS characters to a <CTRL-O>, and FIGS
characters to a <CTRL-N> and sends these to the terminal.
OFF - The PK-232 operates as before in Baudot and AMTOR (default).
