PK-88 - 124
MONITOR
ON|OFF
Mnemonic:
M
Default: ON (4)
Parameters:
ON
Equivalent to MONITOR 4.
OFF
Equivalent to MONITOR 0.
In host computer applications that use a parameter value switching routine rather than numeric
values, the MONITOR command can be used with ON and OFF instead of numbers 0 through 6.
This alternate MONITOR command is appropriate in certain electronic mail and bulletin board sys-
tems.
When MONITOR is set to ON, the response message will indicate the numeric value 4. When MON-
ITOR is set to OFF, the response message will indicate the numeric value 0.

MPROTO
ON|OFF
Mnemonic:
MP
Default: ON
Parameters:
ON
Monitor all I-frames regardless of PID byte.
OFF
Monitor only I-frames with PID byte F0.
Use the MPROTO command to restrict monitoring and screen display when sharing radio channels
with systems or packet nodes using higher-level protocols.
Certain Level 3 packet node switching systems send frames containing control characters with a
Protocol Identifier Byte (PID) of $CF or other values. Some types of packet switches send binary
information which you may wish to suppress from your screen display.
Set MPROTO to OFF; such Level 3 frames will not be displayed.
MRPT
ON|OFF
Mnemonic:
MR
Default: ON
Parameters:
ON
Show digipeaters in the header; stations heard directly are marked with as-
terisk.
OFF
Show packets only from originating and destination stations.
MRPT affects the way monitored packets are displayed. When MRPT is OFF, only packets from the
originating station and the destination are displayed as they appear with MONITOR set to 6.
WX1AAA*>WX2BBB <I;0,3>:
When MRPT is ON, the call signs of all stations in the entire digipeat path are displayed. The call
sign of the stations heard directly are flagged with an asterisk (
*
):
WX1AAA*>WX3CCC>WX4DDD>WX2BBB <I;0,3>:
