MAXframe n
Mode:
packet
"n"
I to 7 signifies a number of
packet
frames.
MAXFRAME
limits the number of nacked
packets
your
PK-96
permits
on the
radio link and the number
of sequential
packets your
PK-96 will send.
The optimum value of MAXFRAME depends on
your
local channel conditions.
In most cases, the detar.rlt
value o[ MAXFRAME 4 works well. When the amount of traffic is heavy, the
path
in use is
poor,
or
il'
you're
using
many
digipeaters,
you
can actually
improve
your
throughput by reducing
MAXFRAME.
Use
MAXFRAME 1
for best
results
