In some cases you may need to use a relay station (called a digipeater) to
contact another station. This is similar to using a voice repeater when the station
you want to talk to is out of simplex range. To connect to a station using
digipeaters, you still use the CONNECT command, but you must also specify the
callsigns (or aliases) of the digipeaters that must be used. For instance, if you
need to use two digipeaters with callsigns of WØXI and KCØCON in order to
connect to KBØNYK, you would give the connect command as “CONNECT
KBØNYK VIA WØXI,KCØCON”
Step 3. Once the connection has been made, you’ll receive a message back on your
screen from the MT1200 that says *** CONNECTED to KBØNYK (or, if you
are using relay stations, *** CONNECTED to KBØNYK via WØXI, KCØCON).
At that point you are ready to start talking to the other station since the
MT1200 has already automatically switched into the CONVERS mode.
Step 4. After you have completed your conversation, simply press <Ctrl+C> to return
your MT1200 to the command mode (“cmd:” will be displayed) and then you
can instruct your MT1200 to disconnect as you did above with the mailbox, by
entering D (or the full form, DISCONNE) and return.
As you begin working with your MT1200 packet radio station, other topics that you may
wish to explore (with the help of other sections of this manual) include:
•
doing hard and soft resets,
•
communicating via relays with a distant station,
•
using network nodes, and
•
beaconing GPS data.
This concludes a quick tour of basic uses of your MT1200. With just these basics, you
can do a lot, but you have a great deal more power if you want to explore the full
possibilities.

following chapters in this manual.
