SCS PTC-IIex, Manual

Page: 68 / 220

6 Commands
6.38 EQualize
Default setting: 0
Parameter: 0 No transmit equalizing
1 Slight enhancement of the edge tones
2 Moderate enhancement of the edge tones
EQualize
allows slight to moderate adjustment of the frequency response of the
PACTOR-III transmit signal.
Some IF filters used in standard SSB transceivers already attenuate the edges of only 2
kHz wide signals due to a poor frequency response. As a countermeasure EQ allows to
compensate for this effect. Please do only use the EQ command if you really know the
actual transmit frequency response of your transceiver.
6.39 ESCchr
Default setting: 27 (ESCAPE)
Parameter: X 1... 127, decimal ASCII code of a character.
Defines the ESCAPE character.
When the PTC is in the converse mode (ARQ, FEC, CW terminal or RTTY) an ESCAPE
character is required in order to get a command prompt and input a command.
Note: To ensure proper operation of the PTC-IIex´s automatic baudrate detection only
odd values for the ESCAPE character should be used (Refer also to chapter
3.2 , page 9 )!
We recommend not to experiment with this character, since it is crucial to the control
of the PTC.
6.40 FAX
In the main menu (
