Using Commands Arguments Without Arguments - AEA PAKRATT PK-232 Operating Manual

USER'S GUIDE
Some commands require call signs as parameters. These parameters are usually ama-
teur call signs, but may be any string of numbers and at least one letter up to six char-
acters; character strings are used to identify stations sending and receiving packets.
A call sign can also include a sub-station identifier (SSID), decimal numbers from 0 to
15 used to distinguish two or more stations on the air with the same call (such as a
base station and a "digipeater").
The call sign and SSID are typed in and displayed as "call-n", e.g., "K0PFX-3". If an
SSID is not entered, the system assumes 0 (zero); SSID "0" is not normally displayed
by the PK-232.
