FLOW {ON | OFF}
default ON
When FLOW is ON, any character entered from the terminal will halt output to the
terminal until the current packet or command is completed (by SENDPAC, PACLEN, or
PACTIME). Canceling the current input to the TALON or typing the REDISPLAY-line
character will also cause output to resume. FLOW will keep the display of received data
from interfering with data entry.
When FLOW is OFF, received data will be “interleaved” with keyboard entry. If using a
split screen terminal program, you should have FLOW OFF and ECHO OFF to allow
received data to be displayed while you type into the TALON’s type-ahead buffer.

FRACK n
(n = 1 – 15)
default 4
Each increment specifies an interval of 1 s. After transmitting a packet requiring
acknowledgment, the TALON waits FRACK seconds before incrementing the retry
counter and sending the packet again. If the retry count (specified by the RETRY
command) is exceeded, the current operation is aborted. If the packet address includes
digipeaters, the time between retries is adjusted to FRACK * ((2 * m) + 1) where m is the
number of digipeater stations specified. When the retried packet is sent, a random wait
time is also added to avoid lockups where two units repeatedly collide with each other.
The FRACK timer begins when PTT is released (the packet has been sent) and is
suspended when data carrier from the radio is present, or when your station is
transmitting.

GBEACON {EVERY | AFTER} [[hh:]mm:]ss [{START [[hh:]mm:]ss[.s]} | {OR m}]
[CLEAR]
default EVERY 00:00:00
This command (used with GPS) sets the interval between beacons.
If EVERY is specified, the current position information will be transmitted at the interval
specified by the hh:mm:ss parameter. This is set in h:min:s. If the optional key word
START is given followed by a time (in 24 h format); the beacon will not be transmitted
