- AEA TNC's have a different command set than the TAPR-2 standard. APRS tries
- to set up your TNC for simple display of monitored packets as follows:
-
- W3XYZ>APRS,DIGI1*,DIGI2:............
-
- therefore it turns off extra linefeeds, timestamps, and other special headers:
-
- TAPR COMMAND AEA PK-232 CMD Function
- ------------ -------------- -------------------------------
- MON ON MON 1 (2 for DX) Sets up MONITOR function
- SCR 0 ACRDISP 0 Turns off screen length limiter
- LFADD off ALFP off Turns off outgoing Linefeeds
- AUTOLF off ALFD off Turns off incomming LineFeeds
- MST off MST off Turns Time Stamp off
- HEA off HEA off Turns Header line off
- MDigi ON So that you see packets that are
- digipeated through you! (via RELAY)
-
- If you have your PK232 battry removed for PACKRAT, you must first use the OPS
- COMM command to setup your TNC autobaud. Hit several ***'s until the TNC res-
- ponds. Then hit ESC to return to APRS. In APRS, hit alt-S and T to initialize
- the TNC. Also AEA dualport TNCs toggle HF/VHF, so they will not switch bands.
- Some programs leave the AEA TNC in HOST mode. This will not work with APRS!
- Make your TNC work with any dumb-terminal program, and it will work with APRS!
