PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
MDIGI ON|OFF
Parameters: ON
OFF
MDIGI permits you to display packet frames that your monitor would normally not show when an-
other station uses your station as a digipeater. MDIGI helps you to better understand the digipeat-
ing paths that may involve your station, even when you've been unaware of what's happening on
the channel.
Use MDIGI to see why your transmitter is being keyed when you're not actively involved in a com-
munication session, or when your system is more active than you would expect.
When MDIGI is OFF you will see those frames that include your station as one of the digipeaters
only if your monitor modes have been set this way. If your monitor modes have not been set so
you can see these frames, set MDIGI ON to display them.
MDMON ON|OFF
Parameters: ON

you both sides of the MailDrop QSO. Packet headers are not shown while a caller is connected to
your MailDrop.
When a caller is not connected to your MailDrop, channel activity is monitored in normal fashion
according to the setting of the MONITOR parameter.
