Optional ±8 Hz setting is available in PSK decode set
mode. (p. 2)
u
Push [F-3•AFC/NET] again to turn the NET function
ON.
•“
” appears additionally.
i
Push [F-3•AFC/NET] for 1 sec. to add the offset fre-
quency to the displayed frequency.
o
Push [F-7•WIDE] to toggle the PSK decode screen
size from normal and wide.
• S/RF meter type during wide screen indication can be
selected in display set mode. (pgs. 3-11, 12-11)
!
0
Push [F-6•MAIN/SUB] to toggle the MAIN and SUB
band for decode operation.
• Dualwatch function (p. 5-16) should be ON when SUB
band is selected for decode operation.
!
1
Push [EXIT/SET] to close the PSK decode screen.
D
Setting the decoder threshold level
Adjust the PSK decoder threshold level if some char-
acters are displayed when no signal is received.
q
Call up the PSK decoder screen as described
above.
w
Push [F-5•ADJ] to select the threshold level setting
condition.
e
Rotate the main dial to adjust the PSK decoder
threshold level.
• Push [F-6•DEF] for 1 sec. to select the default setting.
r
Push [F-5•ADJ] to exit from the threshold level set-
ting condition.
