AXDelay
n
(n = 0 – 255)
default 0
All Units
Packet
Each increment specifying 10 millisecond intervals. This value specifies a period of time to wait, in
addition to TXDELAY, after keying the VHF transmitter before data is sent. This delay can be help-
ful when operating packet through a standard "voice" repeater, or when using an external linear
amplifier which requires extra key-up time. Repeaters using slow mechanical relays, split-sites, or
both, require some amount of time to get RF on the air. NOTE: This command does not apply to
the HF port in the
KAM
.
AXHang
n
(n = 0 – 255)
default 0
All Units
Packet
Each increment specifying 10 millisecond intervals. This value may be used to improve channel uti-
lization when audio repeaters with a hang time greater than 10 msec are used. If the repeater
squelch tail is long, it is not necessary to wait for AXDELAY after keying the VHF transmitter if the
repeater is still transmitting. If the TNC has heard a packet within the AXHANG period, it will not
add AXDELAY to the keyup time. NOTE: This command does not apply to the HF port in the
KAM
.

Packet
Each increment specifying 1 minute intervals. A value of 0 turns the beacon OFF. Setting a value
greater than 0 activates the beacon under the conditions specified. If the optional keyword EVERY
is used, a beacon packet will be sent every n minutes. If set to AFTER, a beacon packet will be
sent ONCE after the specified interval with no channel activity.
The beacon frame consists of the text specified by BTEXT in a packet addressed to "BEACON".
Beacon messages will be digipeated via any addresses specified in the UNPROTO command.

All Modes except WEFAX
When ON, the sequence backspace-space-backspace is echoed when the DELETE character is en-
tered. When OFF, the backslash character "\" is sent to the terminal when the DELETE character is
entered.

default (blank)
All units
Packet
BTEXT specifies the content of the data portion of the beacon packet. Any combination of charac-
ters and spaces may be used with a maximum length of 128. Entering a single
%
will clear BTEXT.
