PK 232 OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
Wideshft ON/OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot/ASCII RTTY/AMTOR/Pactor Host: WI
Parameters:
ON — RTTY tones are shifted 1000 Hz.
OFF — RTTY tones are shifted 200 Hz (emulates 170-Hz shift).
The WIDESHFT command permits the use of the PK-232 on VHF or HF with either wide
(1000 Hz) or narrow (200 Hz) shifts. Many amateur radio VHF and HF RTTY
operators use 170 Hz shift. The PK-232's 200 Hz shift is well within the filter
tolerances of any RTTY demodulator in general service. MARS stations will find
WIDESHFT generally compatible with MARS and commercial 850 Hz shift RTTY
operations.
WOrdout ON/OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot, ASCII, AMTOR, Pactor and Morse Host: WO
Parameters:
ON — Typed characters are held in the transmit buffer until a space, CR,
LF, TAB, RECEIVE, CWID, ENQ or +? characters(s) is typed.
OFF — Typed characters are sent directly to the transmitter.
Use the WORDOUT Command to choose whether or not you can edit while entering text
for transmission.
When WORDOUT is on, each character you type is held in a buffer until space, a
carriage return, a line fed, ENQ character ($05, <CTRL-E->) or the +?. You can
edit words before the transmit buffer's contents are sent to the radio. When
WORDOUT is OFF, each character you type is sent to the radio just as you typed
it, without any delay.
WRu ON/OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot, ASCII Host: WR
Parameters:
ON — Your Auto-AnswerBack is sent after a distant station's WRU?
OFF — Your Auto-AnswerBack is NOT sent after a distant station's WRU?
Use the WRU command in Baudot and ASCII to enable or disable your PK-232's
Automatic-AnswerBack feature.
When WRU is ON, your PK-232 sends the AnswerBack on receipt of a distant
station's WRU? reqruest (“FIGS-D” or '$' in Baudot or a <CTRL-E> in ASCII). Your
PK-232 keys your transmitter, sends the text stored in the AnswerBack field
(AAB), then unkeys your transmitter and returns to receive.
The WRU function is defaulted ON in AMTOR as per the CCIR recommendation. To
allow for special applications where it may be helpful to disable the WRU
function in AMTOR. UBIT 9 or bit 9 of the CUSTOM command controls this feature.
