@TRTY AND THE PK-232 by KG6YY, Peter Ellena 1/2/92
-------------------------------------------------------------
Configuring TRTY for baudot on the PK-232:
If you have connected your PK-232 to Com-1 and
have established contact with your PK-232 using TRTY as
explained elsewhere in this document.
1) Log On Message:
AEA PK-232M Data Controller
Copyright (C) 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 by
Advanced Electronic Applications, Inc.
Release 31.OCT.89
Checksum $E3
2) Display MORSE/RTTY/AMTOR parameters: (cmd:disp r)
cmd: disp r RTN PK232 responds with important baudot
parameters: (some of these parameters have been changed to
accommodate TRTY. Others are in their default status.)
ABAUD 110
ACRRTTY 0
ADELAY 4 (40 msec.)
ALFRTTY OFF
ARQTMO 60 (60 sec.)
BITINV $00
CCITT ON
CODE 0 (International)
CRADD OFF
DIDDLE OFF
EAS ON
MARSDISP OFF
MSPEED 20
MWEIGHT 10
NAVMSG all
NAVSTN all
RBAUD 45
RFEC ON
RXREV OFF
TDBAUD 96
TDCHAN 0
TXREV OFF
USOS OFF
WIDESHFT OFF
WORDOUT ON
From the cmd: prompt type BAdot
Your SELCAL, MYCALL AND ALTCAL also should be installed if you
plan AMTOR or MORSE.
If you plan to use AMTOR and Packet with TRTY as your primary
software, you will need to make additional changes to some default
parameters in the PK-232. These are covered in the PK-232 manual.
3) Following is a copy of those strings used in session 1 for
baudot. These strings of course can be put in any Session.
Strings other than O, P & R (menu 8; A, B & C) are shown as
examples.

STRING(A) "ZCZC\m\j\zZA\c\g" (Strings A thru K are strings I
STRING(B) "ZCZC\m\jDE \c\m\j\zZB\c" use. There are numerous others
STRING(C) "\zZC\m\j\zZC\m\j" that can be written and placed
STRING(D) "ZCZC\m\j\z DE \c\m\j\zZD\c\g" in any locations you desire)

STRING(K) "\z DE \c\j\g"
STRING(L) " "
STRING(M) " "
STRING(N) "r\m"<---The PK-232 sees this as CTL-CR RTN.
STRING(O) "X\M\J\SV\m"<---(The PK-232 sees this as:
CTL-C CR LF send string V RTN
CTL-X at the keyboard sends this string)
STRING(P) ""<--The PK-232 sees this as a CTL-D. When you send a CTL-G
from the keyboard TRTY will respond with NNNN)
STRING(Q) " "
STRING(R) "\M\JZCZC \J :::: \U\C\K\Y ::::\JNNNN"<---(personal
STRING(S) " " WRU String)
STRING(T) " "
STRING(U) " "
STRING(V) ""<---(These are embedded CTL-O's, LTRS
STRING(W) " " in PK-232 Language. Embed them
STRING(X) " " using the F6 in your trty.cfg)
STRING(Y) " "
STRING(Z) "ZCZC\M\JDE \C \M\J\ZZW\M\J\G" <--This string is
merely a convenience string for calling someone's WRU. It
contains three bells (embedded ctl-g). Use bells sparingly, the
old men on the net take long naps. Also note that when you embed
a CTL-C using TRTY it appears as a heart, the CTL-D appears as
a diamond. My word processor shows them all as a single dot.

5) Strings O,P have been set up to emulate the commands in the
TRTY program as closely as possible. When configuring menu 8:
Menu 8 | TRTY.CGF | My | Function | From your
strings| Name | strings | | keyboard
------------------------------------------------------------
A | STUPSTR | "O" | (START UP STRING) | CTL-X
B | EOTSTR | "P" | (EOT STRING) | CTL-G
C | WRUSTR | "R" | (WRU STRING) | CTL-W
Some operators may wish to turn diddle on. If so you will not
need \sv" in String O. The \sv" portion of this string merely
calls about 12 embedded Ctl-O's (letters) in string V, prior to
the transmission of any data by the PK-232. This assures
synchronization at the receiving station before transmit data is
sent. It may also open any hardware auto-start features on
various T.U. equipment. Diddle's (BLANKS) are ignored by the newer
systems.
Strings A and B (menu 8) are required for the PK-232. They
correspond to Ctl-X and Ctl-G at the TRTY keyboard respectively.
String C may be personalized, as I have shown above (String R), or
may be left in default. If you personalize this string make sure
it corresponds to your Relay and Log options (TRTY Menu 6 & 8).
6) Although you will initially set up TRTY dialog (menu 6) in full
duplex, in actual operation you will be in Receive while receiving
data from the PK-232 and in Full Duplex when transmitting data to
the PK-232. This was done in order to retain the basic Ctl-X
Transmit and Ctl-G NNNN Receive parameters of the TRTY program.
In order to change parameters in the PK-232 testing procedures, I
have included String N. From the full duplex dialog (transmit)
run String N and a return. The PK-232 cmd: prompt should reappear.
7) The ON-LINE editing feature of TRTY is only available in
Receive mode. If you continue to type into the pretype buffer
after hitting a CTL-X, which dumps previously typed data to the
PK-232, you will need to add your own carriage returns to typed
text. In other words you do not have the luxury of on line
editing while you are transmitting data. Because of this I have
turned the PK-232 parameter WORDOUT ON. This is limited to one
word but has not posed a real problem.
