Chapter 5 Packet Operation
Tuning in Packet Stations—VHF/UHF
The following steps will help you understand what you need to know about moving around in and configuring your
DSP-232. First you have to enter the packet mode—simply enter
PACKET (or PA ) at the
cmd:
prompt. The DSP
responds by displaying the previous mode it was in, then its new mode on the computer screen:
cmd:
PA
Opmode was
(
previous mode
)
Opmode now PAcket
cmd:
Look at your DSP’s front panel to verify that you're in the packet mode—in the MODE display there will be a ‘P’.
Now enter your callsign using
MYCALL . For example, if your callsign is WO6P, then you’d enter:
cmd:
MYCALL WO6P
MYcall was DSP232*
MYcall now WO6P
cmd:
!
*
or AAA if you just came from Chapter 2 (or if don’t have a callsign, yet).
Next, enter VHF ON then (RETURN).
Your monitor should respond with:
Vhf was OFF
Vhf now ON
*** HBAUD now 1200
You are currenty in the DSP-232’s default radio port -- 1, with the default VHF Packet setting -- 1200 bps. You can
change your Radio Port at any time with the
RAD
command. You can also select other Packet modems that the
DSP-232 contains. If you wish to select a different DSP modem for Packet operation, simply type MODEM
followed by a modem number. The various modems available in the DSP-232 can be seen with the
DIRECT
(ory)
command. To display all the available modems, simply enter the Command Mode, using (CTRL - C), of the DSP-
232 and then type
DIR
as shown.
