Dick,
Why not kiss off the pk232 entirely and use something like wintelnetx to get
your spots via one or more internet clusters? It works quite well with TR.
Other than that, you have only given 1/2 of the info needed to help you.
Make sure the serial port parameters on each side match. It sounds as if
this is not the case. Check what the PK expects and also that the serial
port number really is the one going to the PK.

|
|
|
| Hi All,
| I sent out a query a few weeks ago and got a few responses...but
| am still having problems trying to get my PK-232 to work with TR. I have
| no problem using it with LogPlus or CT but can't make it play with TR.
| The result is jibberish on the screen in CTRL-B mode.
|
| I have set the following in the .CFG file:
| PACKET PORT = SERIAL 2
| PACKET BAUD RATE = 2400
| EIGHT BIT PACKET PORT = TRUE
|
| I also have a few other packet preferences set but I think the
| problem may be related to something I have or have not done in relation
| to the above commands. Does it matter where these commands are in the
| config file..i.e. - do they have to be Before or After something?
| By the way when in TR and at the operating window I get NO
| response with a CTRL-U command...that doesn't seem right either??? I get
| the packet window with a CTRL-B but just jibbersih on the screen. I have
| tried to re-cycle the PK-232 power so that it will adjust to the correct
| baud rate and that doesn't seem to help either. I even wired up an
| adapter to bring in pins 2,3, and 7 ONLY into the 25 pin connector on the
| back of the PK-232. That didn't seem to help either. LogPlus and CT
| still work fine with only those pins wired. It is a 9 pin on the
| computer end.
|
| I usually operate Single Op, but like to use packet(assisted
| mode) on occasion, especially when I have limited time available for a
| contest...but I can't seem to make it play with TR. Would like to use TR
| exclusively but I need some help????
|
| Thanks and 73's
