PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-62 187
OK Immediate Command
Mode: SIGNAL Host: OK
OK normally follows the SIGNAL command after it has determined the class and speed of the re-
ceived station. Typing OK will change the commands RXREV, RBAUD or ABAUD and OPMODE to
their proper value. If the SIGNAL command did not reveal any useful information, typing OK will
produce the ?bad error message.
Opmode Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: OP
OPMODE is an immediate command that shows the PK-232's current mode of operation and sys-
tem status. Opmode also displays the MORSE speed when in the Morse mode.
Use the OPMODE command at any time when your PK-232 is in the Command Mode to display the
present operating mode. Here is a typical example:
cmd:o
OPmode AScii RCVE
PAcket Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: PA
Use the PACKET command to switch your PK-232 into Packet-Radio mode from any other operating
mode.
PACLen "n" Default: 128
Mode: Packet Host: PL
Parameters: "n" - 0 to 255 specifies the maximum length of the data portion of a packet.
0 - Zero is equivalent to 256.
PACLEN sets the maximum number of data bytes to be carried in each packet's "information field".
Most keyboard-to-keyboard operators use the default value of 128 bytes for routine VHF/UHF
packet services. Your PK-232 automatically sends a packet when the number of characters you
type for a packet equals "n".
Reduce PACLEN to 64, or even 32 when working "difficult" HF radio paths.
PACTime EVERY|AFTER "n" Default: AFTER 10 (1000 msec.)
Mode: Packet Host: PT
Parameters: "n" - 01 to 250 specifies 100-millisecond intervals.
EVERY - Packet time-out occurs every "n" times 100 milliseconds.
AFTER - Packet time-out-occurs when "n" times 100 milliseconds elapse with-
out input from the computer or terminal.
The PACTIME parameter sets the amount of time in 100 msec increments that the PK-232 will wait
for a character to be received on the serial port before sending a packet in Transparent Mode. The
PACTIME parameter is always used in Transparent Mode but is also used in Converse Mode if
CPACTIME is ON.
