Re: [digitalradio] PAX 2 Beacon

[Patrick Lindecker]

Hello to all,   Here is an extract of the help file which explains how Patrick will connect John (same procedure as in Packet):   - buttons "Connect" and "Disconnect" (for "connected" mode) The operator (let's say Patrick) may connect to another Ham (here John) by clicking on the button "Connect". The fields "Destination" (John's call sign) and "Source" (your call sign) must be filled.   The other Ham (John) will be in "Unproto" mode. The connection will be done automatically:   * either  if the call signs are crossed in the fields "Destination" and "Sender" ("A" want connect "B" and "B" want connect "A"), * or, simply, if the "Destination" field of the transmitting Ham (the one who initiates the connection, here Patrick) is equal to the "Sender" field of the receiving Ham (here John).   Example of basis QSO (without use of PAX/PAX2 repeater(s)) To do a QSO with any Ham not known in advance, you (here John) will transmit a call in the form "CQ DE VE5MU FOR A CONNECTED QSO +K" in "Unproto" PAX (or PAX2) mode (and John will have, beforehand, written his call, "VE5MU" in the example, in the "Sender" field). John can send an individual frame or can beacon. If an other Ham (here Patrick, in "Unproto mode) decoding your frame wants to do the QSO, he will write "VE5MU" in the "Destination" field and "F6CTE" in the "Sender" field, and the he will click on "Connect". After the automatic connection, the QSO will be done as usual. At the end of the QSO, the first Ham (Patrick or John) to click on "Disconnect" will end the QSO.   Note: it is reminded that in accordance with the good Ham practice and as required by Authorities, it is compulsory to regurarly transmit both call signs (at least once every 10 minutes).   73 Patrick     ----- Original Message ----- From: John Bradley To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 6:21 PM Subject: [digitalradio] PAX 2 Beacon Running a PAX2 beacon with responder on 14075 USB , center 1000hz  from 1700Z to 1900Z , short  beacon every 2 minutes, power 25 watts   Heard KP4AWX calling CQ earlier, couldn't connect.   Use the connect function , enter my call (VE5MU) as the destination call.   The rig will be on responder function for the rest of the day,  connect to VE5MU as above.   John VE5MU Need a Digital mode QSO?
