[Elecraft] Re: K3 text-to-terminal details

[wayne burdick]

Hi Joe,

After sending "TT1;", any decoded text (TX or RX, at the K3) is 
streamed to the terminal without request commands. The user (or 
software application) can continue to send commands to the radio 
completely transparent to the text stream as long as the command 
doesn't return anything (e.g., an "UP;" command to move the VFO one 
unit, etc.). If the application needs to send command that returns a 
string, it can optionally send "TT0;" to suspend the stream 
temporarily, or it can attempt to parse the returned string from the 
stream.

We may tweak this behavior in the future. If so, it'll be documented in 
the K3 Programmer's Reference.
