024: Set Up RS-232 Serial Baud Rates

This command allows you to set up the baud rate for the RLC-3's main serial port and the serial

ports on the radio cards. The baud rate for the main serial port should be set to match the

computer, serial terminal, or modem that you have connected to it to program the controller with.

If you are using the radio cards' serial ports for controlling an HF remote base (see Chapter 15), the

controller will set the baud rate automatically for the type of HF radio you are using. If you are

using the serial port on the radio card for some other purpose, you may have to set the baud rate

with this command.

<024> p xxxxx

Parameters:

- 024 is the default command name.

- P is the serial port requested

- XXXXX is the actual baud rate (leading 0s are optional)
