Ctrl-C Directives and Directives Remotely Issued to a KA-NODE or PBBS
Ctrl-C Directives
The Ctrl-C part of these directives is established by the command COMMAND. If you have changed
COMMAND, the commands will all begin with that character and not a Ctrl-C. These control com-
mands are used within non-packet operating modes to direct the
KAM
to take specific actions. In
all cases you issue a Ctrl-C command by pressing the
Ctrl
key and while holding it down, type the
letter
C
(this can be capital or lower case, but will be shown as capital). Release both, then press
the letter indicated to obtain the desired action (this letter can also be capital or lower case, but
will shown as capital). If your computer keyboard has no key labeled Ctrl, consult your computer
manual to determine which key performs the control key function. Or change the COMMAND pa-
rameter to what you would like to use.
Ctrl-C
All Units
All Modes
Default for the COMMAND character. If the COMMAND character is changed substitute the new
character in place of Ctrl-C in all of the following directives. When in Packet or WEFAX, this charac-
ter allows you to return to Command Mode. Packet Transparent Mode uses a special sequence, see
CMDTIME under Commands. See Ctrl-X for other modes.

Ctrl-C A
KAM
PACTOR
Abort the link immediately. If linked, the KAM discards any untransmitted data that was to be sent
to another station and then enters the PACTOR Standby Mode. If you are attempting to link to a
station and have not yet established the link, this directive aborts any further attempts to make
the link and returns the KAM to STANDBY.
