DWait "n/n" Default: 16/16 (160 msec.)
Mode: Packet Host: DW
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
"n" - 0 to 250 specifies wait time in ten-millisecond intervals.
________________________________________________________________________________
Unless the PK-900 is waiting to transmit digipeated packets, DWAIT forces your
PK-900 to pause DWAIT x 10 mSec after last hearing data on the channel, before
it begins its transmitter key-up sequence. DWAIT may be set for each Radio
Port of the PK-900.
DWAIT is an older way collisions with digipeated packets were avoided. These
days the P-PERSISTENT method is generally used. When the PPERSIST command is ON
(default) the DWAIT timer is ignored.
________________________________________________________________________________
EAS ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot, ASCII, AMTOR, PACTOR and MORSE Host: EA
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
ON - Echo characters when actually sent on the air by the PK-900.
OFF - Echo characters when sent to the PK-900 by the computer.
________________________________________________________________________________
The ECHO-AS-SENT (EAS) command functions in all modes except packet. EAS
lets you to choose the way data is displayed on your monitor screen or printer.
To display your typing exactly as you are typing the keyboard characters or
sending from a disk file, set EAS "OFF" (default). To see the actual data being
sent from your PK-900 to your radio and transmitted on the air, set EAS "ON".
When EAS is ON in Morse and Baudot RTTY, you'll see only UPPER CASE characters
on your screen - the data actually transmitted to the distant station.
When EAS is ON in AMTOR Mode A (ARQ), you'll see characters echoed on your
screen only after the distant station has validated (Ack'd) your previous
block of three characters. In PACTOR, you will see the data blocks echoed as
they are sent. For Packet the MXMIT command should be used.
Nulls ($00) are not echoed, including the nulls produced by DIDDLE ON in ASCII.
