MBEll ON|OFF/ON|OFF Default: OFF/OFF
Mode: Packet Host: ME
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
ON - Will send 3 BELL characters to the terminal when the callsign(s) of
the station(s) monitored match the MFROM and MTO lists.
OFF - The PK-900 will not send BELL characters to the terminal due to
MONITORED packets.
________________________________________________________________________________
MBELL can be used to alert the user to the presence of particular packet
station(s) on the frequency. For example if you want to be alerted when N7ML
appears on Radio Port 2 you would set the following:
MBELL ON
MONITOR 0/4
MFROM yes N7ML
MTO NONE
When MBELL is ON, packets from and to all stations are displayed, but only those
packets matching the MFROM and MTO lists cause the bell to ring.

The MBX command permits you to read or record useful or needed data without
having to connect or log on to the source station(s).
MBX filters the received packet data so that only packets from the selected
station(s) are shown, without headers or repeated frames. MBX overrides normal
monitor functions and can show one or both sides of a conversation.
The operation of MBX command is as follows:
MBX NONE (Default) All monitored frames are shown with their headers.
MBX ALL Only the data fields in the I-frames and UI frames are shown.
Data from retried frames will be shown each time such a frame is
monitored. The MFROM and MTO commands are active.
MBX CALL 1 Only the data in the I and UI frames to or from CALL 1 are shown.
CALL 1 can be either the source or destination station. Retried
frames are not shown. The MFROM and MTO commands are ignored.
MBX CALL 1, Only the data in the I and UI frames are shown when CALL 1 is the
CALL 2 source and CALL 2 is the destination or vice-versa. Retried
frames are not shown. The MFROM and MTO commands are ignored.
A packet connection on any channel inhibits monitoring, if MBX is not set to
"none". MCON will only work if MBX is set to "none".
Clear MBX with "%" "&" "N" "NO" "NONE" or "OFF" as arguments.
