Anyone using a KAM+ may find adding the following to the exit command
program (exitnc.cmd) useful.
I added two lines
M ON
B E 30
and amended the line MON OFF to
MC OFF
The first command (M ON) turns the monitor back on when reverting to normal
TNC mode,
B E 30 sets the Beacon Every command to 30 minutes. B E 30 is needed as
UI-View sets the TNC Beacon to Zero on setting up, to avoid double
beaconing, but on exiting the TNC needs to have the Beacon Every time reset.
(NB: If you want to send a beacon at something other than 30 minutes, alter
the figure to the number of minutes you want. An alternative is B A 'X' -
Beacon After, where the KAM will wait until the channel has not been used
for 'X' minutes before sending a beacon. Round here, that would be like
setting B E 0. HI.....)
MC OFF is needed otherwise the KAM+ will start to show packets from other
stations when you are connected to a station.
Hope these ideas help someone else.
