Mode:

OFF The PK-96
changes modes according to NEWMODE.
ON The PK-96
switches modes onlv uoon exolicit command.
With NOMODE
OFF,
your
PK-96
switches modes automatically according to NEWMODE. With
NOMODE ON,
your
PK-96 never
switches from
Converse or
Transparent mode
to Command
mode
(or
vice versa) by itself.
Only specific commands-CoNvERSE, TRANS,
or
(CTRL-C)---€ntered
by
you
will change the
operating
mode.

ONIOFF
Mode:
packet
OFF Null
characters aren't sent
to the terminal following
(RETURN)'s.
ON Null
characters are sent
to
the
terminal following
(RETURN)'s.
Some older
printer-terminals
require
extra time for the
printing
head to do a
(RETURN)
and LF NUCR
ON solves this
problem
by making
your
PK-96
send null characters
(ASCII
code
$00)
to
your
computer.

Mode:
packet
OFF Null characters
aren't sent to the

following LFs.
ON Null characters
are sent to the terminal
following
LFs.
Some older
printer-terminals
require

ON solves this
problem
by
making
your
PK-96 send null

(ASCII

to
yollr
computer.
NULLS
sets the number of null
characters sent.
NULLs
ru
Mode:
packet
0 to 30 specifies the number
of null characters
to be sent to
your
computer or terminal after a
(RE-
TURI9 or LF when NUCR,
or NULF,
are ON.
NULLS
specifies the number
of
null
characters
(ASCII
$00)
to be sent to the computer after a
(RETURN)
or
LF is
sent. NUCR
and/or NULF must
be set to indicate whether nulls are to
be
sent
after
(RETURN),
LF,
or both. The null
characters are sent only in
the Converse and
Command
modes.
PACLen n
Mode:
packet
0 to 255
specifies the maximum length
of the data
portion
of a
packet
burst, in bytes.
O Tnro is equivalent
to
256.
PACLEN
sets
the
maximum
number of characters to
be sent
in
each
packet
burst.
Most keyboard-to-key-
board operators
use the default value
of
128
bytes
for
routine VHFruHF
packet
services. Your PK-96 auto-
matically
sends a
packet
when
you
reach
"n" bytes. For
example,
if
you
set PACLEN to
256,
the PK-96
will send
out a
packet
burst after
you
enter 256
bytes'
worth
of
information.
Reduce PACLEN
to 64, or even
32,
when working "difficult" HF radio
paths.
