KB7B DE VE7ZZY HI NAME IS RALPH +?
HI, RALPH . . .
Note that the Gateway reports
CONNECTED to ?
. When using four-character
identification, AMTOR has no provision for identifying the calling station. The caller
generally identifies within the transmission text.
L(isten) The Gateway TNC is placed in ARQ Listen mode (Mode L). If the
Gateway TNC’s
ARXTOR
command is
ON
, it will also copy AMTOR FEC
(Mode B).
S(end) The Gateway is placed in AMTOR FEC (Mode B) transmit mode.
Transmission ends when the user sends “=”.
Packet (in) / PACTOR (out)
Here’s what a Port 2 packet user sees when crossing over to PACTOR:
cmd:
C N7ML-7
*** CONNECTED to N7ML-7
+++ N7ML Gateway. Other port (1) is PACTOR. Type ? for help.
+++ You are on Port 2, 1200 bps Packet. Your ID is KB7B-15.
de N7ML-7 (B,C,D,J,L,N,P,S,?) >
p 1
+++ Cross Access to Port 1, PACTOR. Your ID is KB7B.
de N7ML-7 (B,C,D,J,L,N,P,S,?) >
One way the user can establish a PACTOR link is to call a station directly:
cmd:
C WF7A STAY
+++ CONNECTED to WF7A at N7ML-7
+++ Note: Over = <CTRL-Z>, End = <CTRL-D>. You’re sending.
HI, RICH!
The other way is to call CQ in PACTOR Broadcast mode and wait for a response:
S
+++ Sending. To end, type ’=’.
CQ CQ CQ DE KB7B
CQ CQ CQ DE KB7B K=
de N7ML-7 (B,C,D,J,L,N,P,S,?) >
+++ CONNECTED to VE7ZZY at N7ML-7
+++ Note: Over = <CTRL-Z>, End = <CTRL-D>. You’re receiving.
KB7B DE VE7ZZY - Hello...
Keeping in mind that only one station can transmit at a time, the packet station must
end each transmission with a
(CTRL-Z)+(RETURN)
to clue the PACTOR station to
respond. Either station may end the communication; if it’s to be the packet station,
sending a
(CTRL-D)
forces the Gateway to shut down the PACTOR link.
