PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-59 184
MYMail call[-"n"] Default: none
Mode: Packet/MailDrop Host: Me
Parameters: call - The Call Sign you wish to use for the MailDrop.
"n" - Numeral indicating an optional substation ID (SSID) or extension.
"Call" is the call sign of the MailDrop, default: none.
"Call" may have an optional SSID, and must not be the same call sign and SSID as MYCALL. If you
do not set MYMAIL, the MailDrop will use the same call sign and SSID as entered in MYCALL. For
example, if you have set MYCALL to N7ML then MYMAIL may be N7ML-1 through N7ML-15. You
can use the CTEXT and MTEXT messages to inform other stations who connect of your MYCALL
and MYMAIL call signs.
MYPTcall callsign Default PK232
Mode: Pactor Host: Mf
Use the MYPTCALL command to load your call sign Into your PK-232.
If you have not loaded a call into the PK-232 with MYPTCALL, the call loaded in MYCALL will be
used. The difference between MYCALL and MYPTCALL is that MYCALL allows only the dash (-) to
be used while MYPTCALL will allow any punctuation with the call.
If calls have not been loaded into either MYCALL or MYPTCALL, the PK-232 will not allow transmis-
sion on Pactor. An error message "Need MYCALL" will be displayed if transmission is attempted.
Example:
MYPTCALL K6RFK/ZL <Enter>
MYSelcal aaaa Default: none
Mode: AMTOR Host: MG
Parameters: aaaa - Specifies your SELective CALling code (SELCALL)
Use the MYSELCAL command to enter the SELCALL (SELective CALLing) code required in AMTOR
ARQ (Mode A) and SELFEC operating modes. MYSELCAL is a unique character string which must
contain four alphabetic characters and is normally derived from your call sign.
Amateurs may simply enter their callsign and the PK-232 will automatically translate it to a 4-char-
acter SELCALL using the grouping table below:
GROUP CALL SELCALL
1 by2 W1XY WWXY
1 by3 W1XYZ WXYZ
2 by1 AB1X AABX
2 by2 AB1XY ABXY
2 by3 KA1XYZ KXYZ
Although the convention is to form the SELCALL from the call sign, your PK-232 can include any
AMTOR character in the SELCALL. In accordance with CCIR Recommendation 491, four- or five-dig-
it numbers may be entered; the PK-232 automatically translates the numeric entry to your four-let-
ter alpha SELCALL.
