PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
3.8.1.5 Backspace and Delete (<DEL>)
Use your keyboard's <BACKSPACE> to backspace. Depending on how you have set
the 'BKONDEL' and 'DELETE' parameters, your BACKSPACE key may be a
'destructive' backspace key.
If 'DELETE' is ON, typing <BACKSPACE> erases the characters from the
screen and from the transmit buffer as well.
3.9
Escape Functions (<ESC>)
The echoed ESCAPE character can be either your keyboard's ESCAPE (1B$, ASCII
27) key, or the '$' dollar sign character ($24, ASCII 36). The default is the
ESCAPE key.
This option is provided because some terminals and computer terminal emulator
programs may interpret the ESCAPE character as a special command prefix. These
terminals change display functions depending on the characters that follow the
ESCAPE key.
If your computer presents this problem, set ESCAPE to ON.
See the MFILTER and AFILTER commands which lets you strip or filter out
any received characters and prevent them from reaching your computer or
terminal.
3.10
Send Time of Day (<CTRL-T>)
Use the character specified by the TIME command (default <CTRL-T>) to insert
the time of day in the text you type into the transmit buffer, or into a text
file stored on disk.
The PK-88 reads the control code and sends the time to your radio in the data
transmission code in use at that time, in format HH:MM, where 'HH' is the hour
in the 24-hour system and 'MM' is the minute.
If DAYSTAMP is ON the date is included with the time.
3.11
Clear Transmit Buffer (TCLEAR)
Use the TCLEAR command to clear the PK-88's transmit buffer and cancel any
further transmission of data.
Type 'TCLEAR' or 'TC' followed by a <RETURN>
You must be in the Command Mode to use TCLEAR.
Use <CTRL-C> (default) command to return to Command Mode.
Type 'TCLEAR <RETURN>' or 'TC <RETURN>' to clear the transmit buffer.
