the high-order
seven
bits of each
byte as
an ASCII character

the low-order
seven
bits
of each byte
as an ASCII

TRANS
switches
the PK-96
from the
Command
mode to
Transparent
mode; the
current state of
the radio
link
isn't
afl'ected.
Transparent
mode is
primarily
useful fbr
computer
communications
since Transparent

"human

f'eatures
such as input
editing,
echoing
of
input
characters, and
type-in flow con-

To

OM the
type of flow
control uscd
by the computer
receiving

is
determined
by
how
START

ser.
With TRFLOW
OFF,
only
"hardware"
llow control
(RTS,
DTR) is
available to
the computer when
receiv-
ing
data fiom
the PK-96
(while
in
Transparent
mode).
With TRFLOW
ON, and
START and
STOP
are set to values
other
than
zero,
sofiware
flow conrrol is
en-
abled fbr
your
computer. The
PK-96 responds
to
the START
and STOP
characters while remaining
trans-
parent
to all
other characters
from
the terminal.
TRles
n

0
Host:

0 to l5
specifies
the current
RETRY
level
on the selected input
channel.
TRIES
retrieves
(or
fbrces)
the
count of
"retry
counter" on
the data channel
presently
selected.
If
you
type TRIES
withoLrt
an algument,
the PK-96
rcturns the
current nuntber
ol'trics if'an
outstanding
unacknowledged
frame
exists. If no
outstanding
unacknowledged
{iame
exists,
the
PK-96
retllrns
thc nunr-
ber of tries required
to
get
an
acknowledgment
fbr
the
previous
frame.
If you
type TRIES
with
an argument,
the
"tries"
counter is forced
to
the entered value.
Using this
com-
mand
to
force a new
count
of tries is
rzol recommended.

All transmitters
experience
a certain
length
of time from
the instant
the PTT
line is keyed
to when the sig-
nal is
actually
transmitted.
The
default value
of
300 mS should
work with
almost
all transceivers.
In fact,
many of
the newer
transceivers
can use smaller
