Chapter 7 Maildrop Operation
...and the default user command list is:
A, B, H, J, K, L, R, S, V, ?
The user can end a command with either
+?
or a (
RETURN
).
TMPROMPT
is the AMTOR Maildrop message prompt sent to a station by your Maildrop. The default prompt is:
GA subj/GA msg, ’/EX’ to end.
Command Definitions for AMTOR
The AMTOR Maildrop has been designed with a “Watchdog” safety feature: if a remote station is linked with your
AMTOR Maildrop and no traffic is passed for 5 minutes, the link will drop and your transmitter will be shut off by
the DSP.
Most of the Maildrop commands listed earlier have the same effect in AMTOR as they do in packet—only the
differences are listed below. The commands which have the same exact effect as mentioned earlier in this chapter
are marked with “(Same as above.)”
A(bort)
The user must send the
ACHG
command first to reverse the direction of the link before he can issue
the Abort command. The user also has the ability to abort a command that may have been mis-typed
by typing three forward slashes (
/// ) on the same line as the bad command.
B(ye)
Logs you—or the calling station—off the Maildrop. In AMTOR, the connecting station may
gracefully shut down the link with the
RECEIVE
character (
CTRL-D
) or the
CWID
character
( CTRL-F ). (For other ways to shut down the link, see Ending a QSO in Chapter 8: AMTOR
Operation .

PACTOR MailDrop
Command Definitions for PACTOR
The PACTOR Maildrop user interface is slightly different from the packet interface due to the differences between
the two modes. It has been designed with a “Watchdog” safety feature: if a remote station is linked with your
PACTOR Maildrop and no traffic is passed for 5 minutes, the link will drop and your transmitter will be shut off by
the DSP.
Before a PACTOR user can access your Maildrop, you must have your
MYPTCALL or MYCALL set.
