XBaud "n" Default: 0
Mode: ASCII/Baudot Host: XB
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
"n" - Specifies an exact baud rate used in receiving ASCII and Baudot RTTY.
________________________________________________________________________________
XBAUD enables hardware decoding of ASCII and Baudot signals using the PK-900's
8530 Serial Communications Controller IC. This can allow the PK-900 to
achieve better copy of these signals as well as allow non-standard data rates to
be received.
To use XBAUD simply enter the data rate that is desired in either ASCII or
Baudot modes. For example a 20-meter Baudot RTTY enthusiast may want to set
XBAUD to 45 to improve copy of weaker signals on the band.
It is important to remember that XBAUD overrides both the RBAUD (in Baudot) and
ABAUD (in ASCII) as well as the inverting commands TXREV and RXREV. This means
that if XBAUD has been set to 45 for Baudot operation, it should be reset to 0
before changing modes to ASCII. Otherwise the PK-900 will attempt to receive
ASCII at 45 bauds! To help reduce the chance of this error occurring, the
PK-900 will disable XBAUD by setting it to 0 every time the SIGNAL
Identification mode is used and the command OK is entered.
The XBAUD command supports data rates from 1 to 9600 bits per second although
the PK-900 internal modem only supports data rates to 1200 baud.

XFlow ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: All Host: XW
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
ON - XON/XOFF (software) flow control is activated.
OFF - XON/XOFF flow control is disabled - hardware flow control is enabled.
________________________________________________________________________________
When XFLOW is ON, software flow control is in effect - it's assumed that the
computer or terminal will respond to the PK-900's Start and Stop characters
defined by the XON and XOFF commands. Similarly, the PK-900 will respond to
the computers start and stop characters defined by START and STOP.
When XFLOW is OFF, the PK-900 sends hardware flow control commands via the CTS
line and is controlled via either the RTS or the DTR line.
