About the RTTY reverse mode
If you are receiving an RTTY signal but cannot decode
correctly, try in the RTTY-R (reverse) mode.
Select the RTTY-R mode by touching [RTTY] on the
MODE screen.

Twin Peak Filter
The Twin Peak Filter (TPF) changes the audio
frequency response by boosting the mark and space
frequencies for better reception of RTTY signals, or for
decoding the external AF output on a PC.

• Aim for a symmetrical wave form, and be sure the
peak points align with the mark (2125 Hz) and shift
(170 Hz) frequency lines in the FFT scope.
• The S-meter displays the received signal strength,
when a signal is received.
• If you cannot decode correctly, try in the RTTY-R
mode.
•
Tune to where both “◄” and “►” are displayed in
the tuning indicator.
