PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-68 193
PTOver "n" Default: <CTRL-Z> ($1A)
Mode: Pactor Host: PV
Parameters: "n" - A hexadecimal value from $00 to $7F used to select the change-over charac-
ter used in linked Pactor. The default is <CTRL-Z>.
PTOVER is the character, conventionally <CTRL-Z>, that is used to change the direction of data
transmission in a linked Pactor operation. When you are finished transmitting information and you
are ready to receive information from the other station, use the PTOver character. Also see AChg.
PTSend "n, x" Default: 1,2
Mode: Pactor Host: PD
Parameters: "n" - 1 or 2 selects the transmit baud rate.
1 to 5 selects the number of times the data is repeated.
PTS "n, x" initiates an unproto Pactor transmission. To end the transmission, type <ctrl-D>.
"n" 1 selects 100 baud,
2 selects 200 baud.
In order to increase the probability of correct transmission, the unproto Pactor transmission sends
the message data a selected number of times. The parameter x sets the number of times the data
is sent.
Example: PTS 1 3 <Enter> would start a 100 baud unproto transmission with the mes-
sage data sent three times.
The transmission may be started using the default, 100 baud, two repeats, by typing "PTS" with-
out "n x".
Example: PTS <Enter>
RAWhdlc ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: RW
Parameters: ON - The PK-232 operates in a raw HDLC packet mode when HOST is ON.
OFF - The PK-232 operates in standard AX.25.
The RAWHDLC command enables the PK-232 to bypass the AX.25 packet implementation and
communicate directly with the hardware HDLC (Z8530).
HOST mode must be ON to communicate with the PK-232 in the RAW HDLC mode.
See Timewave's PK-232 Technical Manual for full information on Raw HDLC Mode.
RBaud "n" Default: 45 bauds (60 WPM)
Mode: Baudot RTTY Host: RB
Parameters: "n" - Specifies the Baudot data rate in bauds from the PK-232 to the radio.
