USING AN EXTERNAL DEVICE FOR RTTY
MODE OPERATION
You can use an external device and operate the
transceiver in RTTY (FSK) mode without using the built-in
demodulator, encoder or decoder built in the transceiver.
Connect to the transceiver a TNC suitable for RTTY
communication or a PC that allows the use of applications
for RTTY communication so that you can operate the
transceiver in RTTY (FSK) mode.
Refer to the following page for operation examples.
Connection to a PC
{page 1-5}
Connection to other transceiver with TNC
terminal
{page 1-8}
Note:
If the shift width for RTTY mode exceeds 170 Hz, the audio peak
filter for the selected band cannot be enabled
AUDIO PEAK FILTER
For operation in RTTY mode with an external device
connected to the transceiver, this filter will improve the
readability of the RTTY message.
1
Press
[FSK/ PSK/ REV]
to enter RTTY (FSK) mode.
2
Press
[APF]
to enable the Audio Peak Filter.
The "APF" LED lights.
Note:
You cannot enable the Audio Peak Filter until "170 [Hz]" is
configured for Menu 2-06, "FSK Spacing".
Even if Audio Peak Filter becomes active, the Audio Peak Filter
does not apply to the internal demodulator.
PSK OPERATION
The transceiver incorporates a demodulator, encoder and
decoder for PSK31 or PSK63 operation. You can use a
commercially available USB keyboard in combination with
the transceiver for operation in PSK31 or PSK63 mode.
You can also use a PC and software for operation with the
transceiver.
PRECAUTION
For transmission in PSK mode, adjust the drive until the ALC meter
just begins to swing. If you use an external device, adjust the audio
signal level of the external device so that the ALC meter just begins
to swing.
