# HC.CFG 940615
#
# HamComm 3.0 sample configuration file
#

#
# HamComm will automatically search for the file HC.CFG on program startup.
# The current directory is searched first, then all directories along
# the current "PATH" environment variable.
#
# The character '#' starts a comment.  All characters up to the end of
# the line are ignored, including the '#' character itself.
#
# Numbers are normally entered in decimal notation, but you can also
# use hexadecimal values starting in '0x'.
#


#
# On program termination you are asked if you really want to quit now.
# This dialog can be enabled/disabled using the following command.
#

set confirmexit on


#
# Setup serial ports
#
# HamComm maintains an internal table of available serial ports.
# Every port has a unique base port address and interrupt request line.
# Up to four ports can be defined.  On startup the table looks like this:
#
#       iobase  irq
#  COM1  0x3f8   4
#  COM2  0x2f8   3
#  COM3      0   0
#  COM4      0   0
#
# COM1 and COM2 are predefined to their standard values.
# COM3 and COM4 are undefined.
#
# Undefined ports can not be selected from the 'Port' menue.
#
# Let's assume we have a non-standard serial port at address 0x2E0 (hex)
# using interrupt request 11.  The following 'define port' statement will
# make this port available as COM4.
#

# Example: define port com4  iobase 0x2e0  irq 11


#
# We can also redefine any port using the 'define port' statement.
#
# For the following example let's assume we have a mouse connected to
# COM1, so we don't want HamComm to fool around with that port.
# If you remove the comment character from the following statement
# the base address and irq for COM1 will be set to 0 and HamComm
# will ignore it.  Consequently COM1 is now no longer available from
# the 'Port' menue.
#

# Example: define port com1  iobase 0  irq 0


#
# At startup HamComm normally uses COM2.  This can be changed with
# the 'select port' statement.  Undefined ports can not be selected.
# (see also: 'define port com...' above).
#

select port com2


#
# HamComm needs the current date/time in several places.  It is displayed
# on the screen, written to logfiles and can easily be included in the TX
# window.  If you don't want to use the PCs local time the following
# command sets the name (3 characters) of the desired timezone.
#
# Example: it is often convenient to keep time in UTC, so ...
#

set timezone UTC


#
# The "set timezone ..." command above sets just the name of the
# timezone to be used.  In order to display the correct time for that zone
# HamComm needs to know the difference in seconds between the PCs clock
# and the desired timezone.
#
# Example:
#
# i live in Germany.  The local timezone is "Central European Time"
# which is one hour ahead of UTC, so i have to subtract one hour from
# the PCs current time.  One hour is about 3600 seconds.
#

set timediff -3600


#
# The operating mode can be changed from a .CFG file using the "set mode .."
# command.  Available modes are:
# CW, BAUDOT, ASCII7, ASCII8, FEC, ARQ, ARQLISTEN,
# BITLEN, SCOPE, SPECTRUM and TUNE.
#

# Example: set mode baudot


#
# AMTOR clock correction.  Receive-only may work without adjustment.
# See manual for details.
#

set clockcorr 0


#
# Enable/disable AAB (Automatic-Answer-Back) for AMTOR ARQ mode.
# If a link is established with an AMTOR station in ARQ mode
#    and a WRU (who-are-you) character is received
#    and AAB is enabled
#    and the text 'AmtorAAB' is defined,
# HamComm will automatically turn the link around and send the AmtorAAB text.
#
# Some AMTOR mailboxes send a WRU character after the link is established.
# AAB can be used for automatic login.
#

set amtoraab on


#
# 'Extended baudot' maps all ASCII characters to an extended Baudot code.
# It is used by the APLINK (Amtor-Packet LINK) mailboxes around the world.
#

set extendedbaudot on


#
# Set the baud value for Baudot and ASCII send and receive modes.
# The default value is 45 baud.
#

set baud 45


#
# Set the WPM value for morse code transmission.
# The default value is 15 WPM.
#

set wpm 15


#
# Set the startup audio center frequency for receive and transmit tones.
# You may select any value between 500Hz and 2400Hz (default is 700Hz).
#

set afcenter 1360


#
# Set startup audio frequency shift between mark and space tones.
# You may select any value between 25Hz and 999Hz (default is 170Hz).
#

set afshift 170


#
# While AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) is turned on, the audio center
# frequency will automatically follow the input signal during RTTY reception.
#
# Disable AFC for now.
#

set afc off


#
# Control automatic drop-back to LETTER mode for Baudot reception.
#

set autounshift on


#
# Control blank line suppression for the RX window.
# To save screen space we normally don't want blank lines.
#

set rxblanklines off


#
# Set keying direction:  normal = 'mark' is high tone
#                       reverse = 'mark' is low tone

set keying normal


#
# (De)activate the decoder for weather reports in SHIP or SYNOP format.
#

#
# Set the default on/off state of the grid for the SCOPE function.
#
# On monochrome monitors and some LCD screens the display looks
# better with the grid turned off.
#

set scopegrid on


#
# A conventional RTTY decoder can be used in parallel to the standard
# HamComm interface.  If the following option is set to 'on' the signal
# from the external converter will be used for character decoding.
#

set extconv off


#
# When the TX data buffer runs empty during transmit mode, HamComm will
# automatically start sending idle characters.  This feature is normally
# disabled but can be activated using the following command:
#

set diddle on


#
# The TX audio signal is normally generated with the PC's speaker.
# If we use the AFSK signal from the COM port or an external AFSK
# we probably want to disable it.
# The speaker can be controlled using the following command.
#

set speaker on


#
# For some PAs (power amplifier) there should be a delay time between
# activation of the PTT line and the RF signal from the transmitter.
# This delay time is controlled by the PADELAY parameter.  When switching
# to TX mode HamComm activates the PTT line immediately, but the speaker
# output will not be enabled before the specified number of milliseconds
# have elapsed.  Since most HamComm users probably don't have a PA or have
# a PA that doesn't require the delay, PADELAY is set to 0.
#

set padelay 0


#
# The transmitter needs a little time to start after we pull the ptt line.
# Set the TXDELAY to the number of milliseconds required.
# 30ms should be enough for almost any modern transceiver.
#

set txdelay 30


#
# Now specify the time to wait after TXDELAY until we send out
# the first character. Time for your qso partner to switch back
# to receive mode.
#

set txwait 1000


#
# Set the number of bytes for the receive buffer.
#
# All characters received are first put into this buffer by the
# interrupt routines.  When the TTY functions are active they
# are removed from the buffer and displayed in the RX window.
#
# The size of the receive buffer should not exceed 65000 bytes.
#

set rxbuffersize 512


#
# Set the size of the transmit buffer.
#
# All characters to be transmitted are first copied from the TX window
# into the transmit buffer.  The transmit routine will remove them
# from the buffer one at a time and send them to the speaker output.
#
# The size of the transmit buffer should not exceed 65000 bytes.
#

set txbuffersize 4096


#
# Set the number of lines for the receive window buffer.
#
# This is not the window size on the screen, but the number of received
# lines that can be rolled back.  For each line about 160 bytes of
# memory are required.  Use the SYSTEM entry from the INFO menue to
# display the size of free memory.
#

set rxwindowlines 75


#
# Set the number of lines for the transmit window buffer.
#

set txwindowlines 50


#
# For receive-only the TX window can be disabled on the RX/TX screen
# to use all available space for the RX window.
#

set txwindow on


#
# Set the maximum transmit line length.  Lines on old mechanical TTY
# maschines are somewhat less than 80 characters long.
#

set txlinelength 66


#
# Set the entry mode for the TX window to 'line' or 'word'.
# This can also be changed any time during program execution
# using the Control-W key.
#

set entrymode word


#
# Set the insert mode for the TX window to 'on' or 'off'.
# This can also be changed any time during program execution
# using the INS key.
#

set insertmode off


#
# Define the end-of-text character.  HamComm will automatically return to
# receive mode when the transmit routine reads this character from the
# tx buffer.  The character can be specified as decimal number, hex number
# or as the character itself.
#
# Examples: set endoftext 230    # use the greek letter for 'micro'
#           set endoftext 0x7F   # use the DEL character (control-backspace)
#           set endoftext "ß"    # this is handy for german keyboards
#
# The end-of-text feature can be disabled by using the value 0.
#

set endoftext 0x7f      # control-backspace


#
# The callsign decoder normally uses the file HC.PRE for information
# about prefixes.  If you already have a file with the same format
# on your disk you can tell HamComm about it with the "set prefixfile"
# command.  Here is an example:
#

# Example: set prefixfile c:\ham\cqww.cty


#
# A logfile for the RX window can be opened using the "set rxlogfile ..."
# command.

# Examples: set rxlogfile "startup.log" # open logfile startup.log
#
#           set rxlogfile ""            # close current logfile


#
# Define some standard texts.  They can be selected for transmission
# from the 'Text' menue.  The texts labelled SHIFT_Fxx can also be send
# by pressing the corresponding function key.
#
# Double quotes (") are only required if the string contains spaces
# or the comment character (#).
#
# \#  will be replaced with the current QSO count.
# \+  increments QSO count, then just like \#.
# \d  will be replaced with the current date and time.
# \e  will be replaced with the currently selected end-of-text character.
# \n  starts a new line.
# \z  will be replaced with the current time.
#
#
# A text can be included in another text by surrounding its name
# with '~' (tilde) characters.  If the name starts with an AT sign (@)
# HamComm will look for a file with that name.  See 'STATION.TXT' for an
# example.  Note that the text in the included file can itself include
# other texts or files.  Make sure that there are no circular references!
