you are using an Timewave program or one of your own choosing, see the section below for
the particular type of computer you plan to use.
2.4.1 Terminal Programs for IBM PCs and Compatibles
Although you can use almost any terminal program with your IBM compatible, Timewave
recommends PK-TERM for Windows from CSS (www.cssincorp.com) which provides many
features not available in "telephone modem" programs.
If you already have the a Timewave terminal program, follow the program manual and in-
stall the software on your computer. You should also read through the PACKET OPERA-
TION chapter of the manual. Familiarity with Packet operation will be necessary for per-
forming a quick-check of the PK-232 in section 2.5 of THIS manual.
As we mentioned above, an AEA program is not required to use the PK-232. Many termi-
nal programs can be found throughout the amateur radio community or can be down-
loaded from the internet.
A partial list of PC programs for the PK-232 includes:
XPWin, PROCOMM, CROSSTALK-XVI, SMARTCOM, RELAY, BITCOM, QMODEM, PCTALK,
CTERM, HAMCOM, PACKCOMM, PACKTALK, HAMPAC, LANLINK, MSYS, YAPP and the ter-
minal program included with Microsoft Windows 3.0 (TM) and Hyperterminal included
with Windows 95/98.
Follow the installation directions that come with the Terminal program you wish to use.
Once installed on the computer, you should start the program and set the communication
parameters for the following:
Data Rate = 9600 bits per second
Data bits = 8
Parity = none
Stop bits = 1
Once these settings have been achieved and the correct serial communications port cho-
sen, you may proceed to section 2.5.
2.4.2 Terminal Programs for the Apple Macintosh
Although you can use almost any terminal program with your Macintosh, AEA used to sell
the MACRATT with FAX program which provides many features not available in "telephone
modem" programs. You may be able to buy a used copy of MACRATT at a hamfest or on
the internet.
If you already have the MACRATT program, please follow the program manual and install
the software on your computer. You should also read through the PACKET OPERATION
chapter of the MACRATT manual. Familiarity with Packet operation of MACRATT will be
necessary for performing a quick check of the PK-232 in section 2.5 of THIS manual.
As we mentioned above, an AEA program is not required to use the PK-232. Many termi-
nal programs can be found throughout the amateur radio community and can be down-
loaded from the internet.
A partial list of Macintosh programs for the PK-232 includes:
MAC TERMINAL, RED RYDER, MICROPHONE, SMARTCOMM II and MOCK TERMINAL.
