Packet Introduction
You've now connected your PK-232's transmit audio output to its receive audio input. Your
PK-232 can now "talk to itself" in Packet.
1. Set the rear panel AFSK level control at 50 % (straight up and down) for the follow-
ing Packet introduction.
NOTE: If you have adjusted the rear panel AFSK level control for a particular transceiver as
discussed in chapter 3, then mark this setting with a pencil so it can be reset when
finished.
2. Turn on your computer. Load and run your communications program.
If you are using an Timewave or AEA PAKRATT Program, follow the program manual
to enter the Packet mode and then skip to step 4.
If you are using another Computer program or a Terminal, set the communication
parameters as done in Chapters 2 and 3.
3. Press the PK-232's power switch to the ON position if you have not already done so.
If you are using a Radio Cable to form the Loopback connection, you should notice
the sign-on message seen in chapter 2. The Packet (PKT) LED on the PK-232 front
panel should also be lit.
If you used the Battery Jumper to form the Loopback connection, then you must
type an asterisk character (
* ) before you will see the sign-on message.
4. After you have seen the sign-on message and/or entered the Packet mode, you
must enter your own callsign (with the MYCALL Command) if you are to converse
with any other Packet stations. If you try to connect to a station without entering
your call sign, your PK-232 will send you the following message:
?need MYcall
If you are a SWL and do not intend to transmit, you should enter "AAA" as a Callsign
(MYCALL).
If you are using an AEA PAKRATT program, follow the instructions in the Program
Manual to enter your callsign. If you are using a terminal or terminal emulating program
on your computer, you must use the MYCALL command to install your call sign in your PK-
232. For example, if your Callsign is WX2BBB, enter the following:
cmd:
MYCALL WX2BBB
MYcall was PK232
MYcall now WX2BBB
5. Turn the front-panel THRESHOLD control fully Counterclockwise (CCW) and notice
that the DCD LED is dark. Then turn the THRESHOLD control fully Clockwise (CW) –
the DCD LED should now light. Adjust the THRESHOLD until the DCD LED just goes
out. This should occur between the 2-o'clock and 4-o'clock position.
