5Bit Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: 5B
________________________________________________________________________________
5BIT is an immediate command allowing the user to store 5-bit Baudot
transmissions received on Radio Port 1 then write a program to decrypt codes
that involve bit inversion or transposition. In 5BIT, a constant of $40 (64
decimal) is added to each received 5-bit character to make it a printable ASCII
character in the range of $40-5F. All characters are treated this way,
including CR, LF, LTRS and FIGS.
When the user enters 5BIT, the PK-900 displays "OPMODE now BAUDOT". This is
not strictly true; however, the Baudot mode will be displayed on Port 1 of the
LCD Status display.
RXREV, RBAUD and the MODEM number must be set properly for the monitored
transmission. SIGNAL is helpful in determining whether a transmission is 5-bit
and the settings for RBAUD and RXREV, but typing OK after SIGNAL selects BAUDOT,
not 5BIT.
Do not change modes directly between BAUDOT, 5BIT and 6BIT. Go through some
other mode first, such as Packet. These commands do not function in 5BIT:
BITINV, CCITT, CODE, MARSDISP, TRACE, USOS, WRU and XMIT.

6Bit Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: 6B
________________________________________________________________________________
Same as 5BIT, except that the unit receives a 6-bit code and adds a constant of
$30 (48 decimal) to yield a range of $30-6F. RXREV, RBAUD and WIDESHFT must be
set correctly. SIGNAL is helpful in determining whether a transmission is 6-bit
and the settings for RBAUD and RXREV, but OK will not automatically select 6BIT.
When the user enters 6BIT, the PK-900 displays "OPMODE now BAUDOT". This is
not strictly true; however, the Baudot mode will be displayed on Port 1 of the
LCD Status display.
Do not change modes directly between BAUDOT, 5BIT and 6BIT. Go through some
other mode first, such as Packet. These commands do not function in 6BIT:
BITINV, CCITT, CODE, MARSDISP, TRACE, USOS, WRU or XMIT.
