to embed the
At transmit time, the PK-232 reads the embedded control code (default <CTRL-T>), reads the
time-of-day from the PK-232's internal clock and then sends the time to the radio in the data trans-
mission code in use at that time. When
TRACE ON|OFF
Mode: Packet
Parameters:
ON -
OFF - Trace function is disabled.
TRACE
The
command activates the AX.25 protocol display. If TRACE is ON all received frames are
displayed in their entirety, including all header information.
NOTE:

TRACE
The
display is shown as it appears on an 80-column display. The following monitored frame
is a sample:
W2JUP*>TESTER <UI>:
This is a test message packet.
Byte
000: A88AA6A8 8AA460AE 6494AAA0 406103F0

020: 65737361 67652070 61636B65 742E0D
The byte column shows the offset into the packet of the first byte of the line.
The hex display column shows the next 16 bytes of the packet, exactly as received, in standard
hex format. The shifted ASCII column decodes the high-order seven bits of each byte as an ASCII
character code. The ASCII column decodes the low-order seven bits of each byte as an ASCII
character code.
In a standard AX.25 packet,
the call sign address field is displayed correctly in the shifted ASCII column.
A text message is displayed correctly in the ASCII column.
Non-printing and control characters are displayed in both ASCII fields as a period (".").
You can examine the hex displayed field to see the contents of the SSID byte and the control
bytes used by the protocol.
