BEACON
EVERY|AFTER
n
Mnemonic:
B
Default: EVERY 0
Mode: Packet
Parameters:
EVERY -
Send the beacon at regular intervals.
AFTER -
Send the beacon after the specified time interval without activity.
n
-
0 to 250 sets beacon timing in ten-second intervals.
0 -
Zero turns off the beacon (default).
The
BEACON
command sets the conditions under which your Packet beacon will be transmitted.
A beacon frame contains the text that you've typed into the
BTEXT
message in a packet ad-
dressed to "CQ" or other
UNPROTO
address.
A beacon frame may be sent directly, and also sent via the digipeat addresses specified by the
UNPROTO
command.
When the keyword EVERY is specified, a beacon packet is sent every "n" times ten seconds. This
mode can be used to transmit packets for testing purposes.
When AFTER is specified, a beacon is sent after
n
times ten seconds have passed without packet
activity.
The beacon is sent only once until further activity is detected.
This mode can be used to send announcements or test messages only when Packet stations are
on the air.
Proper choice of
n
avoids cluttering a busy channel with lots of unnecessary transmissions.
Beacon frames from other Packet stations can be monitored by setting
MONITOR
in the range 1-6.
If you set the
BEACON
timing less than "90", a value judged by most authoritative sources as
too small for busy channels, you'll see the message:
WARNING: BEACON too often
The warning message appears in the Command Mode each time a new command is typed.
BKONDEL
ON|OFF
Mnemonic:
BK
Default: ON
Mode: All
Parameters:
ON -
The sequence <BACKSPACE><SPACE><BACKSPACE> is echoed when a
character is deleted from the input line.
OFF - The <BACKSLASH> character <\> is echoed when a character is deleted.
BKONDEL
determines how character deletion is displayed in Command or Converse Mode.
Set
BKONDEL
ON if you're using a video display terminal or computer.
On a printing terminal the <BACKSPACE><SPACE><BACKSPACE> sequence will result in over-
typed text.
Set
BKONDEL
OFF if you have a paper-output display, or if your terminal does not respond to
the <BACKSPACE> character <CTRL-H>.
