ESCAPE ON|OFF
Mode: All
Parameters:
ON -
OFF - The <ESCAPE> character is output as <ESCAPE> ($1B) (default).
ESCAPE
The
command selects the character to be output when an <ESCAPE> character is to be
sent to the terminal. The <ESCAPE> translation is disabled in Transparent Mode.
The ESCAPE character selection is provided because some computers and terminals interpret the
<ESCAPE> character as a special command prefix. Such terminals ma alter their displays depend-
ing on the characters following the <ESCAPE>.
ESCAPE
Set
ON if you have such terminal to avoid unexpected text strings from other packe-
teers.

FEC
Mode: AMTOR Mode B
FEC
is an immediate command that starts an AMTOR FEC (Mode B) transmission.
Use FEC for all round-table contacts.
Use FEC for CQ calls. Distant stations cannot identify you in an ARQ CQ call.
Include your SELCAL code in your CQ message so that the distant station can call you back in
ARQ with your SELCAL. If you want replies only on FEC (for example for contacts via a long
path), include that information in your CQ call (see sample below).
Don't start typing right away! Let your PK-232 begin each transmission with three to five sec-
onds of idling. Under poor conditions, this may help the distant station to tune your signal.
Avoid the RTTY practice of transmitting a line of RYRYRY to allow the distant station to tune in
– this is wrong on FEC. Distant stations cannot synchronize until the end of the RYRYRY se-
quence. The normal FEC idle-signal can be used for tuning.
You can signify the end of your FEC transmission by typing the changeover sign
tionally recognized as the RTTY equivalent of "KKK". However, in FEC,
command. You still have to un-key your transmitter manually as you would in conventional
RTTY.
You can terminate your FEC transmission several ways:
Type the RCVE (R) command;
Type the AMTOR (AM) command;
Insert the RECEIVE command (default <CTRL-D>) character in your typing or disk file.
