11.9.2 Settings For PACTOR MailDrop Operation
Before a remote PACTOR user can access your MailDrop, be certain that
MYPTCALL and MYCALL (on Port 1) are set to your Amateur callsign.
11.9.3 Starting PACTOR MailDrop Operation
Remote access to your PACTOR MailDrop is controlled by the command
TMAIL which is short for TOR MAIL. The TMAIL command controls remote
access to the PACTOR and AMTOR MailDrop in the same way that the
MAILDROP command controls remote Packet access.
Turn the TMAIL command ON (default OFF) to allow remote stations to
access your MailDrop in ARQ PACTOR. Turn TMAIL OFF to have normal ARQ
QSOs with other stations in the PACTOR mode.
11.9.4 Local Logon to the MailDrop
To locally access your MailDrop use the MDCHECK command as described
in chapter 5 of this manual on MailDrop operation.
11.9.4.1 Remote Logon to your PACTOR MailDrop
The PACTOR maildrop user interface is slightly different from the
packet interface due to the differences between the two modes.
When a station links with your PACTOR MailDrop, your PK-900 first
identifies your maildrop by sending the amount of free MailDrop
memory as shown below:
Type H for help.
(AEA PK-900) 17528 FREE.
The PK-900 then sends the user the MTEXT string if the MailDrop
Message command (MMSG) is ON. The Default text is shown below:
Welcome to my AEA PK-900 maildrop.
Type H for help.
11.9.5 Caller Prompts
The command prompt that the MailDrop sends the remote user in PACTOR
is similar to that used in the Packet mode and is shown below:
WX7BBB DE WX7AAA (A,B,H,J,K,L,R,S,V,?) >
As in packet, MDPROMPT is the PACTOR MailDrop message prompt sent to
a remote station by your MailDrop. The default prompt is:
Subject:/Enter Message,^Z (CTRL-Z) or /EX to End
Text before the first slash is sent to the user as the subject prompt;
text after the first slash is sent as the message text prompt.
