Exception: when ECHO is
ON
and the computer sends a filtered character, the
PK-96 will echo
it
back
to
your
terminal or computer.
AFILTER works regardless of mode, or CONNECT/CONVERSE/TRANSPARENT
status. Leave
AFILTER
OFFduring binary
file
transfers.

A line

ALFDISP
controls
the
display
of
(RETURN)
characters
received, as
well
as the echoing of
those that are
typed
in.
With
ALFDISP
OM the
PK-96
adds a line feed
(LF)
to each
(RETURN)
it receives, if needed.If a
LF was
received immediately before or after
a
(RETURN),
ALFDISP won't add another
LF.
Use
the PK-96's
sign-on message to determine how
(RETURN)'s
are being displayed.
(ALFDISP
affects
your
display, not
transmitted data.)
.
Turn ALFDISP
ON
if the PK-96's sign-on message lines are typed over each other.
.
Turn ALFDISP OFFtf the PK-96's sign-on message is double
spaced.
.
ALFDISP
is set comectly if the PK-96's sign-on message is single spaced.

ALFPACK is similar to ALFDISP,
except
that
the
LF characters are added to outgoing
packets
rather than
to text displayed on
your
computer screen. If
the

ALFPACK is disabled in the Transparent mode.

the delay between
PTT
going
active and the start
o1'
In some applications
you
may need
to
make
a time delay
from the moment the radio PTT
line is keyed and
the time that
audio
is
produced
from the PK-96. Most notably, on HF
when
an
amplifier is used, arcing o{
the amplifier's
relay
contacts
may
occur
if
drive
to
the
amplifier is applied before the contacts
have closed.
If arcing occurs, increase AUDELAY slowly until the arcing stops.
In VHF
or UHF
FM
operation, some synthesized transceivers
may
produce
undesiraLrle spurious emissions
if audio
and
PTT are
applied at the same time. These emissions may be
reduced
by
setting
AUDELAY to
roughly half
of
TXDELAY.
Please note that AUDELAY must always be less than TXDELAY. It's advisable that
AUDELAY
be set
lower
than
TXDELAY
by a setting of 10. For example,
you've
determined that
TXDELAY 2O
works well
