#
TXDELAY n (n = 0 - 255)
default 30
This command sets the transmitter key-up delay as 10*n ms. This setting estab-
lishes the time delay between the application of push-to-talk and the start of
packet data to the transmitter. Flags (characters to begin packet) are sent during
the delay. This command needs to be set long enough to give your transmitter
time to come to full power before data is sent. If set too short the beginning of the
packet will be chopped off and another station will never be able to decode you.
If set too long, additional flags at the beginning (heard as a repetitive sound)
waste air time. It may be necessary to increase your TXDELAY to allow the re-
ceiving station sufficient time to switch from transmit back to receive to detect
your signal.
TXDFEC n (n = 0 - 25)
default 0
This command sets the number of extra seconds that the KAM’98 will send phas-
ing signals at the beginning of an AMTOR FEC transmission. This allows more
time for a station to tune your FEC transmission and obtain a lock condition be-
fore you actually begin transmitting data.

TXDTOR n (n = 0 - 15)
default 5
This command establishes the transmit key-up delay used in AMTOR, G-TOR,
and Pactor operation. Each number increment sets a multiple of 10 ms.
TXFLOW {ON | OFF}
default OFF
