from PHASING to IDLE, you will see a CONNECTED message on your screen. You
may then begin your conversation.
N7ML DE (
YOURCALL
) ... etc.
o
When you finish typing your comments or traffic to the other station and wish the
distant station to transmit to you will need to type
KKK
or
BTU
to let the other
station know that you are going to change the link direction.
o
Then, type a
<CTRL-Z>
(Hold the "CTRL" key down while typing the Z) to turn the
link over to the other station.
<CTRL-Z> is the character defined by the PTOVER command that switches your
system from being the Information Sending Station (ISS) to the Information Receiv-
ing Station (IRS) and switches the distant system from being the information receiv-
ing station to the information sending station. This single character operates like the
"+?" does in AMTOR.
The FCC requires station identification once every ten minutes. It's sufficient to begin with
"QRA (
mycall
)" or end your transmission with "QRA (
mycall
)" before the "<CTRL-Z>"
changeover, or use the <CTRL-B> "HERE-IS" to send your own Auto-AnswerBack mes-
sage. For the "HERE-IS" command to function, you must have your AAB text entered. See
appendix A for the AAB command.
11.6.3.1
Ending An ARO Pactor Contact
When you've finished your "final finals", to the distant station and both stations are
ready to end the Pactor ARQ contact, you can end the contact and terminate the link in
several different ways:
o
Type
<CTRL-D>
to stop sending after the transmit buffer is empty. <CTRL-D>
breaks the link and returns your PK-232 to Command Mode in Pactor Standby. This
is the best way to end a Pactor contact.
o
Type
<CTRL-F>
to stop sending after the transmit buffer is empty, send your Morse
ID, and return to Pactor Standby and Command Mode. Transmitter and returns to
Pactor Standby and Command Mode. This is the best way to end a contact if you
want to identify your station in Morse code as well.
o
Wait until all the text has been sent, then type
<CTRL-C>
to return to Command
Mode, then type
R
to break the link. The PK-232 will then go into the Pactor
Standby mode.
o
Type
<CTRL-C>
to return to Command Mode, then type
R<Enter> R<Enter>
to
break the link immediately. If there are characters left in the transmit buffer, they
will not be sent. This method should onlv be used for an emergency shutdown as it
does not send the control signal to the other station that informs it you are shutting
down. As a result the other station will continue to send until it's internal timer turns
it off.
11.6.4
Long Path Contacts
If the station you are going to call is more than half way around the earth i.e. a long path
contact, precede that station's callsign with an exclamation point. The will change the
Pactor timing to allow for the extended radio propagation delay. You would type:
