[nos-bbs] pk-88 auto baud

[Wm Lewis]

Daniel:
 
It's been a while since I dug out my 6 old PK-88's sitting in a box somewhere. 
 
But, according to my manual, they are suppose to have 2 internal AA batteries for  RAM backup. 
 
First start by making sure your batteries are good so as to help with setting loses.
 
Next, I also used to have an intermitent problem with my Kantronics KPC3's slipping out of KISS mode, until I did this....
 
In my autoexec.nos file, where I attach ttyS0 and ttyS1, I added the jnos "COMM" command to reset the tnc's everytime I ran JNOS. 
 
Here are my specific line commands...    Note the lines staring with "COMM"
 
===================================================================================
# --------- RF PORTS  --------
# COMM PORT 2 (external KPC3+)
#
# 
attach asy ttyS1 - ax25 ax1 4096 256 9600
#
comm ax1 "reset"
pause 3
comm ax1 "intface kiss"
pause 3
comm ax1 "reset"
pause 3
param ax0 txdelay 60
pause 2
#
ifconfig ax1 ipaddress 44.2.14.2
ifconfig ax1 description "(AMPR) 145.090 MHz     :BBS Only Port                   (44.2.14.2)"
ifconfig ax1 ax25 bctext "GVCITY Node - Grass Valley, Ca. [44.2.14.2]"
netrom interface ax1 192 120
ifconfig ax1 ax25 paclen 128
ip hport ax1 on
# param ax1 up              # 130 (129 = down)
# param ax1 txd 60          # 1
# param ax1 persist 128     # 2
# param ax1 slot 8          # 3
# param ax1 txt 10          # 4
# param ax1 5 0             # 5 0=half 1=full duplex
# param ax1 dtr 1           # 8
# param ax1 rts 1           # 9
# param <intfc> 255         # 255 = kiss off

ifconfig ax0 ax25 paclen 128

route add 44.2.14.100/32 ax0
# param ax0 up            # 130 (129 = down)
# param ax0 txdelay 60    # 1 [These are parameters sent to the TNC in KISS mode as needed]
# param ax0 persist 228   # 2

Now, also if it helps you and others, I have a PDF manual for the PK-88, the XJ14, and the KPC3+ on my server for download at:
