PID {ON | OFF}
default OFF
When OFF, only those packets with a protocol ID of $F0 (pure AX.25) are displayed.
When ON, all packets are displayed. Some of the information in non-AX.25 packets (for
example: TCP/IP, NET/ROM or TheNet) can cause some computers to lock up.
Net/Rom, TheNet and G8BPQ nodes have a PID of $CF, TCP/IP uses $CC and $CD,
and standard AX.25 is $F0.
PMODE {CMD | CONV | TRANS}
default CMD
The PMODE command controls the mode your KPC-3 Plus will be in when it is first
powered up or reset. When set to CMD, the KPC-3 Plus will produce a sign-on
message followed by the command prompt. When set to CONV, the unit will be in the
Convers Mode. Setting PMODE TRANS sets the KPC-3 Plus in Transparent Mode.
Exiting Transparent Mode with three <Ctrl+C>s will put the KPC-3 Plus in Command
Mode.
PTEXT text
default (blank)
This entry specifies the customized text sent with the initial PBBS (personal mailbox)
sign-on message. Enter any combination of characters and spaces up to a maximum
length of 128. Entering a single ―%‖ will clear PTEXT. Don't use the ―>‖ character in your
PTEXT, as this is reserved by BBS systems for their prompt.

RANGE a-b/c-d/e-f/g-h/i-j
default 0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255
The 5 A/D inputs are normally read by the microprocessor as a single byte value from 0
to 255, representing a voltage from 0 to +5 V on the pin. You can use the RANGE
command to mathematically convert that single byte value to any offset and scale you
want. If you would like the input to be expressed as a voltage with 2 decimal precision,
for example, set the range for that analog pin as 0-5.00. If you connect a temperature
sensor to an A/D pin which outputs 0-5 V for temperatures of –40 to 100, set the range
for that input to –40 – 100.0. A pressure sensor that gives 0-4 V for 1 PSI would use a
range of 0-1.25.
