[Dx4win] KAM RTTY with TERMINAL or DX4WIN

[John F. Samuels]

Set up TERMINAL as follows:

Emulation: TTY
Terminal Preferences:
    Line wrap
    80 column
    Cursor: block
Communication:
    same speed as set in KAM (I use 4800)
    8 bits
    1 stop bit
    parity: none
    flow: hardware (assuming you have a full cable)

Type CTRL-C then x to get the KAM's attention.  Response: cmd:
Type: RTTY.  Response: -- RTTY 45 -- (set as default in KAM)
Type CTRL-c then t to transmit
Type CTRL-c then r to receive immediately
Type CTRL-c then e to receive after the transmission is complete

You can place your commands and most used text in the TERMINAL function
buttons.  Substitute a caret (^) for the CTRL.
So
^CTCQ CQ CQ DE K2CIB K2CIB AR K^M^CE
 is the way I call CQ.  ^M is a carrier return.

By the way, TERMINAL.EXE came as a free-bee with Windows 95 and works fine
right through Windows ME.  Wish it supported COM ports higher than 4,
though.

For DX4WIN I set the function keys up like for TERMINAL.  Look at the help
for all the details.

Here's my CQ:
CQ |%7 CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ de %~ %~ AR K%M%CE

Function key 7 is
Xmit |%CT%b

Have fun!

John, K2CIB
