Non-Packet Modes of Communication
Each non-packet mode of operation of the KAM’98 is described and illustrated in
this chapter.
+ For packet operations, see the following chapter, on “Packet Modes of Opera-
tion”.
You will benefit most from this section if you read it while you are at your station
with your KAM’98 connected to your computer and radio, so you can follow the
examples and experiment with your unit.
Start with your KAM’98 in the Command mode (as explained in more detail in
the “Getting Started” chapter).
When you turn the KAM’98 on, it will send its sign-on message (followed by the
“cmd:” command prompt):
KANTRONICS ALL MODE COMMUNICATOR KAM ‘98 VERSION 8.3

Any time you want to operate the KAM’98 in a particular non-packet mode, you
must start from the command prompt (in Packet mode) and then switch by enter-
ing the command for (i.e., the name of) the non-packet mode you want to use.
+ The operational examples we use to explain these modes assume the use of a
standard terminal communications program, such as the DOS-based Pacterm 2.0
program provided with the KAM’98, or a telephone communications program,
such as Procomm Plus.
If you are using a specialized ham radio program, or a Host mode program such as
Host Master II (DOS) or Pacterm’98 (Windows 95/98/NT), the examples will not
apply. Host programs typically communicate with the KAM’98 for you, simplify-
ing your operation. Refer to your software manual if you are using these special-
ized programs.
