After you are successfully registered

10、, it will then be available as your home PBBS. E-mail addressed to you will be hold under a directory, called a mailbox, on your home PBBS. To send e-mail, you must designate the address of a recipient, using his (or her) call sign and the call sign of his (or her) home PBBS; ex. KD6NUHKJ6HC. In thi

11、s example, e-mail is addressed to KD6NUH whose home PBBS is KJ6HC. If your home PBBS cannot find KJ6HC in its address file to forward your mail, you must designate the address in more detail. You may enter “KD6NUHKJ6HC.#ABC.CA”, or “KD6NUHKJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA”, or up to “KD6NUHKJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA.NA”, as

12、 necessary. The complete address of a recipient living in the U.S., for example, should include an appropriate region code (preceded by a #), state, country, and continent abbreviations as above. For further information, consult reference books which should be available at any store that handles Ama

13、teur Radio equipment. If you are living in the U.S., refer to the ARRL Repeater Directory for packet frequencies. Web pages relating to Packet will also be helpful. On one of the Internet search engines, you may use “Packet Radio as a key word to find those Web pages. Note: If there is an amateur ra

14、dio club in your area, consider becoming a member. You can learn more in an hour from experienced hobbyists, than in a month of independent research. Ask on the local repeaters, or contact your national amateur radio organization (in the U.S., the ARRL) for information on local amateur radio clubs.

15、Youll be glad you did. Packet is a unit of data transmitted as a whole from one computer to another on a network. Packets can be transmitted on radio waves as well as on communications lines. Besides a transceiver and a computer, all you need is a terminal node controller (TNC). A TNC converts packe

16、ts to audio tones and vice versa as one of its tasks. This transceiver has a built-in TNC. A variety of packet applications developed by hams include packet bulletin board systems (PBBSs). PBBSs are created and maintained by volunteers called System Operators (SysOp). You may access one of your loca

17、l PBBSs to send e-mail, download a file, or obtain various useful information. Thousands of PBBSs, which have formed a worldwide network, relay e-mail to its intended destination around the world. PBBS 2 1 CONNECTING WITH A PERSONAL COMPUTER Use a commercially available RS-232-C straight cable to co

18、nnect the transceiver to a personal computer. This transceiver has a DB-9 male connector on the front of the main unit. Note: Turn OFF the transceiver power before making the connections. To connect an external TNC to the transceiver, use an optional PG-5A cable. The DATA connector on the front of t

19、he main unit mates with a 6-pin mini DIN plug on this cable. Note: If the external TNC has a common pin for 1200 bps and 9600 bps data input, connect this pin to the DATA connector PR9 pin. Shorting the PR9 and PR1 pins will cause the TNC to malfunction. If DC voltage is input to the PR1 pin, the ex

20、ternal TNC may not function. If this problem happens, add a 10 F capacitor between the PR1 pin and the TNC. Be careful with the polarity of the capacitor.

This protocol is used for communications between TNCs. The TNC acc

24、epts data from your personal computer and assembles it into packets. It then converts packets to audio tones which the transceiver can transmit. The TNC also takes audio tones from the transceiver, converts them to data for the computer, and checks for errors in the data. The TNC mainly functions in

25、 Command or Converse mode. First learn the difference between these two modes. Command mode When you select Packet mode, the TNC enters this mode. A “cmd:” prompt appears on the computer screen. You can type commands from the computer keyboard to change the settings on the TNC. When in Converse mode

26、, press Ctrl+C on the keyboard to restore the Command mode. Converse mode The TNC enters this mode when a linkage with the target station is established. On the computer keyboard, type an appropriate command and if necessary a message, then press Enter or Return. What you type is converted into pack

27、ets and transmitted over the air. When in Command mode, type CONVERSE to restore the Converse mode; you can also type CONV or K instead. For the commands supported by the built-in TNC, see “TNC COMMANDS LIST” on page 41. The following indicators appear on the transceiver display to show the current

28、TNC status: The built-in TNC includes a simple mailbox to directly receive mail from other stations; the mailbox holds up to approximately 110 kilobytes (KB) of information. You can read mail from the mailbox by sending a command from your personal computer page 47. Note: Not all functions available

29、 via conventional TNCs are supported by the TNC built in this transceiver. The built-in TNC could be automatically reinitiated when its malfunction is detected; this does not designate that the transceiver is defective. To distinguish your various stations or nodes, you can have up to 15 Secondary S

30、tation IDentifiers (SSIDs); ex. WD6BQD-1 to WD6BQD- 15. You always have to put a dash between your call sign and SSID number. Packet operation, easily affected by transmit and receive conditions, requires a full-scale S-meter reading for reliable communication. When the S-meter reads less than maxim

31、um during 9600 bps operation, communication errors are frequent. ro t ac i dn Isu t a tS TKPCNT.edomtekcaPn is iCNTehT ATS ehtn in i amerl l i t sdet t imsnar tebots tekcaP . ref fub NOC tegratehth t i wno i t cennocn is iCNTehT .no i tat s DOBM desseccagn i ebs iCNTehtn ixob l i amehT .no i tat sre

The default is 1200 bps. You must select the same transfer rate as the tar

36、get station. y Type MYCALL (or MY) then your call sign (9 digits max.) and press Enter or Return to set your call sign on the TNC. You cannot use the default setting (NOCALL). u Tune to an appropriate frequency. First you may want to monitor packets which are transmitted among other stations. When p

37、ackets are received, text appears and the computer screen scrolls. i To connect with the target station, type CONNECT (or C) then its call sign and press Enter or Return. When a linkage is established, a message informing you of this appears on the computer screen; on the transceiver display, “CON”

38、appears. If packets from other stations keep your squelch open, adjust the squelch level in advance. The TNC cannot transmit while the squelch is opened. o Send appropriate commands and, if necessary, messages to the target station via the TNC. 5 1 DCD SENSE You can also select the method for inhibi

39、ting the built-in TNC from transmitting. Access Menu 162 (DCD SENSE) and select one of the two methods. The default is “DATA (RX) BAND”. SELECTING DATA BAND This transceiver is capable of receiving packet data on one band (data band) while receiving audio on the other band. In order to use the built

40、-in TNC, access Menu 161 (DATA BAND) and select band A or B as the data band for receiving or transmitting packets. “” indicates the current data band; the default is band A. Note: In Menu 161, the selection switches among A, B, A:TX B:RX, and A:RX B:TX. Select A:TX B:RX or A:RX B:TX when accessing

41、a PACSAT page 7. The selection in Menu 161 is invalid for an external TNC. Use the TX band to transmit and receive packets through an external TNC. When using an external TNC, access Menu 196 (DATA SPEED) and select 1200 bps (default) or 9600 bps as the transfer rate between TNCs. This selection is

42、valid only for an external TNC.

43、ONITOR DX PacketClusters are networks which consist of nodes and stations who are interested in DXing and contesting. If one station finds a DX station on the air, he (or she) sends a notice to his (or her) node. Then this node passes the information to all its local stations besides another node. T

44、his transceiver can display received DX information and hold the latest information on up to 10 DX stations. Use this function to monitor the latest DX information in your local area. You cannot send DX information to a node, using the function. 1Access Menu 3I (DATA BAND) to select band A or B. If

45、the common transfer rate in your local PacketCluster network is 9600 bps, access Menu 3J (PACKET SPEED) and select “9600 bps” page 13. 2Tune to the frequency of the target PacketCluster node. 3Press F (1 s), TNC to enter APRS mode. “TNC APRS” should appear. 4Press F (1 s), DX.
