How to HF packet using SCS modem


 

Can't figure this one out, I want to connect to another station using HF packet ax.25, not robust packet, using my SCS PTC-IIusb.
I'm currently scanning for Pactor connects, so I need to halt scanning and set the frequency and ssb mode
before making my call to the other station. I can attach the port, stopping scanning, and use radio to set freq/mode ok
but then when I issue the connect callsign, it sends a pactor connect, not a packet connect.
If I disconnect, then I can issue a connect port callsign and the packet connect works ok, but then the radio starts scanning, not what I want.?? How to stop scanning and issue a packet connect?
?


 

Jim,

I think for that modem it is similar to this:

For a normal (300 Baud HF Packet) call enter:

ATT 3 HFPACKET C CALLSIGN

If you want to, and have configured, you can send after ATT(aching) the RADIO 14.1234 command. As long as you are attached and use INTERLOCK= or RADIO= on that PORT it should stop the scan until you remove the connection.

WinRPR, PTC-IIusb, Tracker(including Teensy Tracker) kind of share mostly the same command sets.

Bleh, I did not format that.

Let me try again. :D

ATT 3
HFPACKET
C CALLSIGN


 

TU that was the missing piece!
