CTEXT message to each station that connects to your system.
The CTEXT message can be any text string up to 120 characters. You can include <CR>s
by prefixing them with the pass character (<CTRL-V> is the default):
CTEXT Sorry, I cannot talk right now.[^V][↵]
cmd:
I will be on the air again after 8 PM.[^V][↵]

Digipeater Details

You may wish to connect to a Packet station that is beyond your direct radio range. If a third
Packet station is on the air and both you and the station you want to talk to are in range of
that third station, the third station can relay or 'digipeat' your packets. You set up the 'digi-
peater' routing when you request the connection. The PK-88 automatically includes the nec-
essary routing information in the transmitted packets. Here is a sketch that shows how digi-
peating works:
to display the ALL|NONE/YES list|NO list status. You can use the abbreviated
-n
after the call sign.
