PK-232 MBX – OPERATING MANUAL AMTOR AND NAVTEX OPERATION
4/91 7-12 97
7.6.8.4 J (JLOG) (Remote only command)
The "J" command sent by the distant station will cause the MailDrop to send the list of
stations who have logged in to your AMTOR MailDrop.
7.6.8.5 K n (KILL n [Mine])
The "K n" command deletes message number "n" from the MailDrop as described in
Chapter 5.
7.6.8.6 L (LIST [Mine])
The "L" command shows the remote user only a list of the messages he or she may
read as described in Chapter 5.
7.6.8.7 R n (READ n [Mine])
The "R n" command lets the remote user read any of the message numbers displayed
in the LIST command. The command operates as described in Chapter 5 except that
the column headers are not displayed.
7.6.8.8 S callsign (SEND callsign)
Due to the nature of AMTOR, character errors may occur at any time, so extra safe-
guards are built into the system. In AMTOR, the MailDrop echoes the actual SEND com-
mand, then asks for confirmation by sending "CFM YES/NO+?". If the remote user's re-
ply is "N", the MailDrop cancels the SEND command and gives the "GA" command
prompt instead. If the reply is "Y", the message can then be sent as shown below.
In the SEND command, the words "AT," "FROM" and "BID" must be used in place of the
"@," "<" and "$" signs used in packet. Hierarchical addresses are also supported in AM-
TOR mode, but not forwarding. You the SYSOP may edit any message so it can be for-
warded in Packet mode.
Since <CTRL-Z> is not available in the AMTOR character set, the "/EX" command must
be used to end all AMTOR MailDrop messages. After the "/EX" has been detected, the
MailDrop will confirm that the message has been sent by returning the message "FILED
MSG n" to the remote user. An example of sending a message is shown below:
WX7BBB DE WX7AAA GA+? {MailDrop prompt}
s wx2zzz at wx2yyy {User's SEND command}
S WX2ZZZ AT WX2YYY {MailDrop echoes SEND command
18340 FREE. CFM YES/NO +? and awaits confirmation}
y {User confirms}
GA SUBJ+? {MailDrop Subject prompt}
Going to the Hamfest? {User enters Subject}
GA MSG, '/EX' TO END.+? {MailDrop Send prompt}
I haven't heard from you and wondered if {Message text}
you are going to the Hamfest next month? {Message text}
Hope to see you there. 73 {Message text}
/ex {User ends message}
WX7BBB DE WX7AAA FILED MSG 1 GA+? {MailDrop prompt}
