PASSALL ON|OFF
Mode: Packet
Parameters:
ON -
OFF - Your PK-232 will only accept packets with valid CRCs.
PASSALL
permits the PK-232 to display packets received with invalid CRC fields; the error-detecting
mechanism is turned off.
Packets are accepted for display despite CRC errors if they consist of an even multiple of eight bits
and are up to 330 bytes. The PK-232 attempts to decode the address field and displays the call
sign(s) in the standard monitor format, followed by the text of the packet.
PASSALL
is normally turned off; therefore, the protocol ensures that received packets data is error-
free by rejecting packets with invalid CRC fields.
PASSALL
(sometimes called "Garbage Mode") may be useful for testing a marginal RF link or dur-
ing operation under other unusual conditions or circumstances.
PASSALL
When you set
periodically because there is no basis for distinguishing between actual packets and random noise.
When
PASSALL
is ON, logging of stations heard (for display by MHEARD) is disabled; the call
signs detected may be incorrect.

RBAUD
Mode: Baudot RTTY
n
Parameters:
-
RBAUD
sets the radio ("on-air") baud rate only in the Baudot-CCITT International Telegraph Alpha-
bet #2 operating mode. This value has no relationship to your computer or terminal program's
baud rate.
Available Baudot/CCITT ITA#2 data rates include:
45, 50, 57, 75 and 100 bauds (60, 66, 75, 100 and 132 WPM)
Example:
RBAUD 75
RBAUD
RB
Use
UP (
U) to go to the next highest Baudot speed or
the next lowest Baudot speed. This is useful when you are trying various combinations of
RXREV
and
to decode an unknown Baudot signal.
NOTE:
Modern commercial and amateur radio operations no longer refer to the operating
speeds or data rates in "WPM". The term "bauds" is now universally accepted for
FSK and AFSK operations using monbit data. The term "bauds" and "bits per sec-
ond" mean the same thing and may be used interchangeably.
PK232UG Rev. B 9/86
Mnemonic: PASSA
Your PK-232 will accept packets with invalid CRCS.
ON while monitoring a moderately noisy channel, "packets" are displayed
Mnemonic: RB
Specifies the rate or signaling speed in bauds from the PK-232 to the radio.
Default: OFF
Default: 45 bauds (60 WPM)
