033: Send Serial Message out Radio Card's Serial Port

This command allows you to send a message out of a radio card's serial port. It is similar to

command 162 in that it sends the characters you enter without doing any conversions. If you enter

this command from a DTMF pad, you will only be able to send the characters that are on your

DTMF pad. This command can be used to send messages to a serial printer, HF radio, etc.

If you are interfacing to a device that accepts serial communications with TTL (0 and 5V) levels,

you need to remove U8 (if it is installed) on the radio card and install two jumper blocks on J5. If

you want RS-232 voltage levels, you need to remove the jumper blocks from J5 and install a

DS1275 IC in the socket for U8.

<033> p s..s

Parameters:

- 033 is the default command name.

- P is the radio card to send the message out of

- S is the data to be sent over the RS-232 port

-- The message length is limited to the maximum command length (about

200 characters) or if used in a macro, by the space left in a macro (less than

100 characters). If you need a longer message, split it up between several

macros and use one macro to call the next macro in the sequence.

Voice response:

There is no voice response for this command

Note:

To change the baud rate, see command 024. If you want to send characters that are not on

the DTMF pad (if that is what you are using) or the keyboard (if you are controlling via the serial

port), see command 034.
