your
PK-96
to send an ID
packet
every 9.5 minutes
when
it's used as a digipeater.
Otherwise, leave HID
OFF
(default).
The ID
consists of a Ul-fiame
with
your
station
identiflcation
(MYCALL)
and MYALIAS in the data field. It is addressed
to
"ID."
Please note that
you
can't
change
the
9.5-minute automatic interval timing.

Host n
Delault:

Mode:packet
Host:HO
A hexadecimal value from
$00
through
$FF
setting bits from the table below
that define the
Host
operation of the PK-96.
The Host
command enables the
"computer-friendly"
Host
communications
mode over the
PK-96's RS-232
link.
To exit out of the
Host
mode, enter three
(CTRL-C)
characters
in rapid succession or type
(CTRL-
A),O,H,O,N,(CTRL-W).
Sending a
BrecLk
signal won't cause the
PK-96 to exit
from
the
Host mode.
Bit 0; Controls whether
the
Host mode is ON
or OFF.
If
bit 0
is
equal to 0,
Host is
OFF.
If bit 0 is equal
to
/, Host is ON.
Bit l:
Controls the
local
MailDrop access.
If
bit
I is
0, then the
MailDrop
Send data uses the
$20
block.
Read data uses the
$2F
block as be-
fbre.
Monitored
MXMIT
data uses the
$3F
(monitored
receive) block type.
If bit I is /, then the MailDrop send data uses the
$60
block type. Read data uses
the
$70
block
type. Monitored
MXMIT data uses the
$2F
(echoed)
block type
to
diI'fbrentiate
between monr-
tored,
transmitted, and received fiames.
Bits 2-1 are reserved for future
use.
To
maintain backward compatibility
with older
programs
written to use the ONIOFF form of thc
Host
command,
Host ON is equivalent
to
Host
$0/
described above. However,
programmers
must note that
Host now returns
a numeric value
and
not
ON or OFF as before.
See Timewave's
PK-232MBX TechniccLl Manual for full
infbmation about the Host mode.

(CTRL-A),O,G,G, (CTRL-W),
lbr
alf data that might
be available to be displayed
to the screen.
With
HPOLL OFF, the Host mode

must
be able to accept any
data
from
the PK-96 whenever it
becomes available.
