Looking for PK-88 commands reference
 

Hi everyone.

A friend recently purchased a used PK-88 and I've been trying to find at
least a current command reference for him. If anyone might have scanned
this portion of the manual and would be willing to share, that'd be great.
Or, if there is a URL I could find in Google, I'd appreciate that as well.

Thanks!

73, de Nate

Depends a lot on the version of firmware in the box otherwise its
exactly like any other licensed TAPR TNC-2 clone.

The main software difference in the clones was some had "personal
mailbox" extensions. Each brand with a personal mailbox did it
differently.

TAPR will sell a version 1.1.9 EPROM and manual to you for $15 + $6
shipping. http://www.tapr.org/

That was the PK-87. The PK-88 is not compatible with TNC-2 firmware.
Timewave may be able to furnish a manual.

That was my impression, Even though the '88 used the Z80, it uses a
different Serial/IO chip which is incompatible with the TNC2 firmware.

Timewave doesn't show a manual available on their webpage, but does say to
contact them for anything not listed, so they may offer a copy.

http://hamradiomanuals.com does list a copy of the PK-88 manual for $18.
I found this after a better Google search.

Thanks for the tips.
