Specifications

AXDELAY
specifies the
period
of time the PK-96 will wait-in addition to the delay set by
TXDELAY-
after keying
the transmitter and before data
is
sent.
Packet
groups
using a
standard voice repeater to extend
the range of the local area network may need
to use this feature.
Repeaters
with slow electromechanical relays, auxiliary links,
or other circuits
which
delay transmission
after the RF carrier is
present
require more
time to
get
RF
on the air. Try various values to find the best
value for
"n"
if
you're
using a repeater
that hasn't been used for
packet
operations before. If other
packet
stations
have
been using the repeater,
check with them for the
proper
setting. AXDELAY acts together with
AXHANG,
AXHang n
Mode:
packet
0 to 20 specifies voice repeater
"hang
time" in 100 mS intervals.
AXHANG
allows
you
to
increase
efficiency when sending
packets
through a repeater that
has
a
hang time
greater
than l00mS.
When the PK-96 hears
a
packet
sent
within
the
AXHANG
period,
it doesn't add the
repeater
key-up delay
(AXDELAY)
to the key-up time. Try various values to find the best value
if
you're
using a repeater that
hasn't been used for
packet
operations befbre. If other
packet
stations have been using
the repeater, check with them for
the
proper
setting.
BBSmsgs

-
Makes the PK-96
status message look like TAPR-style
output.
OFF
-
The PK-96 status message willwork
as before
(default).
When BBSMSGS
is ON, some of the status messages
change or are suppressed
which may improve op-
eration
of the
PK-96
with some BBS software. The fbllowing Timewave PK-96
status
messages are sup-
pressed
or changed if BBSMSGS
