Binary and Picture Transfer Commands
Part of the fun of Multicom is its ability to transmit and receive pictures from one
computer to another using packet radio.
If you and your contact both have Multicom, and are currently connected in
packet mode, you can send and receive pictures using the following functions:
<Alt> +T Used before you begin the transfer, this key allows you to set the
"timeout timer." This timer determines how many seconds may
elapse, without any characters to be input to the computer, before
a timeout/abort condition occurs during a binary/picture transfer.
For example, if you want to set the timeout timer for five minutes,
press <Alt> +T and enter the number 300 (5 minutes x 60
seconds = 300 seconds).
<F8> Begins the file transfer process. You must first select which
type of file you are going to transfer (a binary or "program" file,
or a picture file).
The callsign programmed into the TNC must match the callsign set up in
Multicom for the transfer to work properly.
