6.18 CHOBell
Default setting: 1
Parameter: 0 CHANGEOVER bell off.
1 CHANGEOVER bell on.
As a default, a CHANGEOVER (change of data transmission direction) is indicated by a
beep of the internal beeper. In addition, the PTC sends for each CHANGEOVER a BEL
character (ASCII 7) to the terminal and let it beep.
CHOB
0 disables both the sending of
the BEL character to the terminal and the beep of the internal buzzer.
6.19 CHOchr
Default setting: 25 (Ctrl-Y)
Parameter: X 1... 127, decimal ASCII code of a character.
Defines the CHANGEOVER character.
CHOchr
defines the CHANGEOVER character which is a special command for the
change from TX to RX. Because this command is used very often, the PTC accepts this
character only in the converse mode, and not after the
cmd:-
prompt. The
CHANGEOVER character is not part of the transmitted data and will not be transmitted.
A CHANGEOVER initiated by the TX operator is not executed until all text in the
transmit buffer is transmitted.
In AMTOR, the CHANGEOVER character has a further function. In an AMTOR QSO,
(AMTOR-ARQ / Mode A), the CHANGEOVER character can be used instead of the +?
sequence. Whilst in AMTOR standby, the CHANGEOVER character can be used to
initiate an FEC (Mode B) transmission. Whilst in AMTOR monitor mode (Mode L) it
causes a new synchronization.
In RTTY (command
BAUdot
) the CHANGEOVER character switches to transmit.
The CHANGEOVER character can be changed at any time using the
CHOchr
command.
