Getting Started
This chapter gives you important information and examples to get you started
using your multi-mode digital radio station.
We assume you have installed your station and familiarized yourself with the use
of Pacterm 2.0 with your KAM’98, as covered in the chapters on “Installing your
KAM’98” and on the DOS-based terminal program, “Pacterm 2.0.”
Hint: If you are familiar with other communication software, you may use it in-
stead of Pacterm 2.0. In this case, you need to be aware that Kantronics’ docu-
mentation and support services assume the use of Pacterm 2.0, at least for getting
started.
If you have not yet installed your station, including Pacterm 2.0 commu-
nication software, and learned how to use Pacterm 2.0, we suggest that you do so
before continuing with this chapter.
