Go into converse with other hams
If the C command is entered with no parameters, the infobox puts you
into converse mode.
Using this mode, a great number of stations can have a round
table conversation There are 255 different convers channels available. After entering the
C-Command, you get a list of all stations connected to the node and, if they are in
convers mode, too, the channel on which they are. Now the node prompts for a number, which
selects the channel you want to join. The user must enter a channel number. If
no number is entered, the node puts the user back at the infobox prompt. (See also TALK command)
Example:
=>C <CR>
users:
0: DL1AA 0:DL1ZZ —: DL2XY 73: DG3FBL 73: DK7WJ
channel ? 73 <CR>
*** starting convers, exit: /q
In this example, DL1AA and DL1ZZ are on channel no. 0 and DG3FBL and
DK7WJ on channel 73. DL2XY is connected to the node without being in convers mode. Having
given the desired number 73, the conversation starts. All stations logged in onto the
chosen channel get the message:
"<DL9ABC>: *** Logon"
While being in convers mode you have the following commands at your
disposal:
 | "/w" shows all stations connected to the node (with convers channel number if
available) |
| "/c" shows the actual channel number |
| "/c n" switches to channel n |
| "/s <call> <msg>" sends private msg to <call> only |
| "/m <call> <msg>" sends private msg to <call> only |
| "/q" quits convers mode |
If a station disconnects while being in convers mode or quits convers
mode, all other users of the channel get the message:
"<DL9ABC>: *** Logoff"
If a user changes to another channel, the users of the left channel get
the message:
"<DL9ABC>: *** switched to channel n" |
