USER'S GUIDE
WIDESHFT ON|OFF
Mode: Baudot/ASCII RTTY
Parameters:
ON -
OFF - RTTY tones are shifted 200 Hz (emulates 170-Hz shift).
WIDESHFT
The
command permits you to use the PK-232 on VHF or HF with either wide (1000 Hz)
or narrow (200 Hz) shifts.
Nearly all amateur radio VHF and HF Baudot and ASCII RTTY operators use 170-shift. The PK-
232's 200-Hz shift is well within the passband and filter tolerances of any RTTY demodulator in
general service.
MARS stations will find
RTTY operations.
WIDESHFT
The
command has no effect in AMTOR operation.
WORDOUT ON|OFF
Mode: Baudot/ASCII RTTY, AMTOR, Morse
Parameters:
ON -
OFF - Typed characters are sent directly to the transmitter.
WORDOUT
Use the
Command (in all modes except packet) to choose whether or not you can edit
while entering text for transmission.
WORDOUT
When
is ON, each character you type is held in a buffer until you type a space, a car-
riage return, a line feed, or any punctuation mark - including parentheses, plus signs, asterisks,
etc. You can correct spelling or change words before the transmit buffer's contents are sent to the
radio.
WORDOUT
When
is OFF, each character you type is sent to the radio just as you typed it, without
any delay.
WORDOUT
Set
ON to permit limited on-screen editing before each word is sent to the transmitter.
Set
WORDOUT
OFF to transmit each character immediately as it is typed.
WRU ON|OFF
Mode: Baudot/ASCII/AMTOR ARQ
Parameters:
ON -
OFF - Your answerback is NOT sent after a distant station's WRU?
WRU
Use the
command in Baudot, ASCII and AMTOR to enable or disable your PK-232's automatic
answerback feature.
When
WRU
is ON, your PK-232 sends the answerback on receipt of a distant station's WRU? re-
quest ('FIGS D' or '$' in Baudot and AMTOR, or <CTRL-E> in ASCII). Your PK-232 keys your trans-
mitter, sends the text stored in the answerback field (AAB), then unkeys your transmitter and re-
turns to receive status.
