________________________________________________________________________________
During packet operation, the PK-900 may receive many packets that are not
displayed. Turning WHYNOT on will cause the PK-900 to display a message
explaining the reason the received packet was not displayed to the screen.
The messages and their meanings are shown below:
PASSALL: The received packet frame had errors, and PASSALL was off,
preventing the packet from being displayed to the screen.
DCD Threshold: The DCD LCD was off when the packet was received.
MONITOR: The MONITOR value was set too low to receive this frame.
MCON: MCON was set too low to receive this type of frame.
MPROTO: MPROTO was set to off, and the received packet was probably
a NET/ROM or TCP/IP frame.
MFROM/MTO: The frame was blocked by the MFROM or MTO command.
MBX: The call sign of the sending station does not match the call
sign setting in the MBX command.
MBX Sequence: The frame was received out of sequence, probably a retry.
Frame too long: Incoming packet frame longer than 330 bytes. Probably a
non-AX.25 frame.
Frame too short: Incoming packet frame shorter than 15 bytes. Only seen if
PASSALL ON. Probably noise.
RX overrun: Another HDLC byte was received before we could read the
previous one out of the HDLC chip.
