6.5.1
Changing Speed
Assume you've been receiving at 45 bauds and wish to increase the baud rate in steps.
From the Command mode, type
RB U
followed by an
<Enter>
. The PK-232 responds with:
RBaud was 45
RBaud now 50
The RBAUD command sets the Baudot RTTY speed. The most common speed is 45 bauds
on HF, but other speeds including commercial speeds are supported. See the Command
Summary for all the supported speeds.
6.5.2
Entering Your Auto-AnswerBack
Baudot RTTY allows you to request the identity of the station you are conversing with by
sending your PK-232 the <CTRL-E> character. This causes the PK-232 to send a FIGS-D
request to the other station.
For this reason, you should set your own Auto-AnswerBack (AAB) message to either "DE
YOUR-CALL" or "QRA YOUR-CALL". See the Command summary. If you then turn your
own WRU command, your PK-232 will automatically respond by sending the AAB message
when another station requests your identity in Baudot and then stops sending.
6.5.3
Formatting Your Transmitted and Received Text
The default configuration of the PK-232 RTTY parameters are designed for natural conver-
sation and traffic. Sometimes it is desired to alter how your typed text looks on the screen
of the station you are talking to. The commands ACRRTTY and ALFRTTY allow for custom-
izing the Carriage Return and Linefeed characters in your transmitted text.
To allow for changing how received text is displayed on your screen or printer, see the
ACRDISP and ALFDISP commands in the Command Summary.
MARS operators have some special requirements for RTTY operation and displaying text.
To accommodate these, the CRADD and MARSDISP commands are included and should
be reviewed in the Command Summary.
