PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
MONITOR ON|OFF
Parameters: ON
OFF
In host computer applications that use a parameter value switching routine rather than numeric
values, the MONITOR command can be used with ON and OFF instead of numbers 0 through 6.
This alternate MONITOR command is appropriate in certain electronic mail and bulletin board sys-
tems.
When MONITOR is set to ON, the response message will indicate the numeric value 4. When MON-
ITOR is set to OFF, the response message will indicate the numeric value 0.

Use the MPROTO command to restrict monitoring and screen display when sharing radio channels
with systems or packet nodes using higher-level protocols.
Certain Level 3 packet node switching systems send frames containing control characters with a
Protocol Identifier Byte (PID) of $CF or other values. Some types of packet switches send binary
information which you may wish to suppress from your screen display.
Set MPROTO to OFF; such Level 3 frames will not be displayed.
MRPT ON|OFF
