BAudot Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: BA
________________________________________________________________________________
BAUDOT is an immediate command that switches the PK-900 into the Baudot mode
on Radio Port 1.
Baudot RTTY operation is very common around the world, and is the basis of the
telex network and most radio press, weather and point-to-point message services.
The Baudot/Murray and ITA #2 character sets do not contain lower case or the
special punctuation and control characters found in ASCII. Because the
Baudot/ITA #2 code requires only five information bits to define each character,
it will generally suffer fewer errors than ASCII code at the same data rate.

BBSmsgs ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: BB
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
ON - Makes the PK-900 status messages look like the TAPR-style output.
OFF - The PK-900 status messages work as before (default).
________________________________________________________________________________
When BBSMSGS is ON, some of the status messages change or are suppressed which
may improve operation of the PK-900 with some BBS software. The following AEA
PK-900 status messages are suppressed or changed if BBSMSGS is ON:
No "(parm) was (value)"
No "(parm) now (value)"
Connect messages: No "; v2; 1 unACKed"
No "xxx in progress: (dest) via (digis)"
No space after comma in digipeater lists

If MRPT is ON, digi paths are displayed in TAPR format
