callsigns xxxxxx-n
Several commands require callsigns as parameters. While these parameters are
normally Amateur callsigns, they may actually be any collection of numbers
and/or letters up to six characters; they are used to identify stations sending and
receiving packets. A callsign may additionally include an “extension” (SSID,
Secondary Station Identifier), which is a decimal number from 0 to 15 used to
distinguish two or more stations on the air with the same Amateur call (such as a
base station and a repeater). The callsign and extension are entered and displayed
as call-ext, e.g. NØGZZ-3. If the extension is not entered, it is set to -0, and ex-
tensions of -0 are not displayed by the KAM’98.
text
There are some commands which have a parameter text string. This string can be
any combination of letters, numbers, punctuations, or spaces up to 128 charac-
ters. In order to be used, all string parameters must contain at least one non-space
character. You can even put characters with special meanings, such as carriage re-
turn, into the string by preceding them with the PASS character. The string ends
when you type a (non-passed) carriage return.
Entering Commands
To enter a command, the KAM’98 needs to be in COMMAND Communication
Mode (as opposed to CONVERS or TRANS communication mode).
The prompt for Command Mode is:
cmd:
+ Hint: Once you go into Packet Convers Mode a <Ctrl+C> (see COM-
MAND) needs to be entered to return you to the Command Mode. In the
Packet Transparent Mode or GPS Mode, a special sequence is needed to
return to Command Mode (see CMDTIME).
