When you have completed sending, press and hold “Ctrl” and Press “d” to stop
transmitting.
12.
Press “Esc” to return to the “cmd:” prompt.
13.
It is also possible to do a hard stop on the
transmitter as an option. To do a hard stop
press “Esc” and then type “DD” and Press
“Enter”. The Modem will return to the listen
mode and display the “cmd:” prompt. (as an
old CPM computer guy, I like the “Cntrl” “d”
option best.)
14.
Then press “Esc” to return to the “cmd:”
prompt.
15.
When complete, close the terminal window by busing your Mouse Device and clicking
on the red “X” in the upper right corner of the Dumb Terminal.
Digital Communications will allow us cruisers to get information more accurately and at a
longer distance. Most importantly being able to ask those weather questions will increase
cruiser overall
