RadioPort Activity Status View

This view displays traffic and timing values for each radioport.

  • Speed is the "on air" baud rate as measured by PE Pro
  • Bytes/2min is the number of bytes of data that PE Pro has decoded over the last two minutes
  • Traffic Level is an arbitrary rating based on the baud rate and the bytes/2min.  1 is the lightest traffic level (fewest bytes).

The MaxFrame, Persist, and Slottime are timing values. They are determined by the parameter control setting in the Port Properties: TNC Commands window:

  • If you have chosen the program adjusts parameters (the default), you will see the values which PE Pro has determined are best for the current frequency traffic level. This view is updated every minute. (Watch how PE Pro behaves as frequency traffic changes! As traffic level increases, PE Pro will send less data and less frequently by decreasing Max Frame and Persist and increasing Slottime.)
  • If you have elected to "Let me control parameters", then the values displayed simply reflect your choices.

To learn more about the MaxFrame, Persist, and Slottime parameters and what they do, see the Port Properties: TNC Commands help page.

User selectable formatting options:

  • Column Width:
    • Drag a column label's right separator line.
    • Press CTRL+ (Plus key in numeric pad) and all the list's columns will auto adjust to match the cell in the column with the most characters --no extra spaces, no lost characters, but column titles may be truncated).

    Your new column widths will be saved for the next time you run PE Pro.
