The response you receive will be:
### LINK MADE
### CONNECTED TO NØGRG
You can also determine from the response to the NODE command, which port a node is
on. Below is an illustration of a KA-Node response to a NODE command:
LAWKAN* 12/02/87 15:45:00
N66046/X 12/02/87 15:49:15
OLAKAN/X 12/02/87 16:15:21
In this typical display, the callsign of the node is given, followed by the date and time it
was last heard. The ―/X‖ indicates that the node was heard on the opposite port from the
one you are connected on. The asterisk (*) means that the node was heard via a
digipeater.
Determining Which Port You Have Connected To
When you are connected to a multi-port node, you can determine which port you are on,
at the node, by using the JHEARD command. A typical node response to the JHEARD
command may appear on your display as shown (the KAM uses /H and /V instead of /1
and /2):
N66046/2* 12/01/87 14:32:69
NØKN-1/1 12/01/87 16:25:01
WØXI/2 12/02/87 16:28:05
NØGRG/1 12/02/87 16:32:09
In this illustration the number following the slash (/) indicates the port the station was
heard on. Your callsign will usually be the last one in this list.
You can now see that by comparing the port on which your call appears in the JHEARD
list to the port indicated for other stations, you can determine whether to CONNECT or
XCONNECT to the station of your choice.
KA-Node Commands for Remote Use
When accessed by radio, the KA-Node supports several commands, which may be
given to it. These commands are listed here for reference, with a description of each
command. In these descriptions, the UPPER case characters of the command are
required, while LOWER case characters are optional. Those items listed within [ ] are
optional and if used the UPPER/LOWER case convention applies.
ABORT
Aborts a KA-Node Connect or Xconnect request if it is the first data sent after the
connect request. It must be spelled out entirely.
