PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
If MRPT is ON (default), you will also see your call sign in the packet
header, showing the digipeater path in which you are included. The call sign
of the station whose packet is being decoded is marked with as asterisk.
Assume that your call sign is 'WX2BBB'. Here's a sample taken with Monitor 4
(default), MDIGI ON and MRPT ON:
WXlAAA*>WX2BBB>WX3CCC:
What time is the meeting?
WX3CCC*>WX2BBB>WX1AAA

Do You Want to be a Digipeater?
Many operators use their stations as digipeaters to provide a simple form of
packet networking. If local circumstances prevent you from being a digipeater,
you can disable the digipeat function.
DFROM determines if your station will digipeat other stations, and which
stations packets will be digipeated.
DFROM's default argument is ALL. ALL means that the PK-88 will normally repeat
packets from any station that includes your station's call sign in their
digipeat path.
Type 'DFROM NONE' if you do not want to be used as a digipeater.
DFROM works with four arguments: ALL/NONE or YES/NO.
ALL and NONE are used alone and work in the following manner:
•
ALL - your PK-88 will repeat packets from any station;
•
NONE - your PK-88 will not repeat packets from any station.
YES and NO work with a list of call signs:
•
YES (list) - call signs of up to eight stations whose packets will be
repeated;
•
NO (list) - call signs of up to eight stations whose packets will not be
repeated .
Type 'DFROM' to display the ALL/NONE/YES list/NO list status of station call
signs whose packets will or will not be repeated. You can use the abbreviated
command form or mnemonic:
cmd:dfrom
DFROM all
You can add SSIDs as '-n' after the call sign.
If DFROM is set to NO WX1AAA or YES WX1AAA, any combination of
WX1AAA, WX1AAA-1 .... WXIAAA-15 will be matched and processed.
If DFROM is set to YES WX1AAA-1 or NO WX1AAA-1 then only WX1AAA-1
will match and be processed.
Clear DFROM with '%' '&' or 'OFF' as the argument.
cmd:df
DFROM
yes WX1AAA WX2BBB WX3CCC
