COMMUNICATING AIDS 5 Selecting a Waterfall Display Type Configure in Menu [2-17] "Waterfall when Tuning (RTTY/PSK Audio Scope)" Setting Value Straight (default)/ Follow Straight: Uses a straight line to show transition in the level of the target signal displayed on the waterfall when the RX frequency is altered. Follow: Tracks and displays the latest FFT scope level at the portion where the waterfall starts flowing when the RX frequency is altered. Tracking Speed/Density Level of X-Y Scope Switch between the speed and density of the X-Y scope. Press F6 [XY LEV.]. Pressing F6 [XY LEV.] each time switches the level. The tracking speed is displayed on the X-Y scope display. Setting Value Lv1/ Lv2 (default)/ Lv3 . Transmitting Character Strings Using USB Keyboard A commercially available USB keyboard can be used to input and transmit character strings. Transmitting the Input Character String Immediately 1 Connect the USB keyboard to (USB-A). 2 Press F3 [DECODE] to display the RTTY communication screen. 3 Press [F12] on the USB keyboard to enter the TX mode. The [BUSY/TX] LED lights up in red, and > is displayed in the status bar. 4 Enter a character string using the USB keyboard. • The input character string is displayed in the character string buffer and transmitted immediately. • In the character string buffer, the color of the individual characters change successively once they are transmitted. • Characters that have been transmitted appear successively in the TX/RX details display area. 5 Press [F12] on the USB keyboard to end transmission. ● If there remain characters in the character string buffer that are not transmitted when [F12] is pressed in step 5, > is displayed in the status bar. After transmission of all the character strings is complete, the transceiver switches to the RX mode and the light of the [BUSY/TX] LED and > display go off. Temporarily Placing Character Strings in the Character String Buffer before Transmission 1 Connect the USB keyboard to (USB-A). 2 Press F3 [DECODE] to display the RTTY communication screen. 3 Enter a character string using the USB keyboard. The input character string is displayed and temporarily placed in the character string buffer. 4 Press [F12] on the USB keyboard to send out the character string. • Character strings that are stored in the character string buffer are sent out by this transceiver. • Upon entering the TX mode, the [BUSY/TX] LED lights up in red, and > is displayed in the status bar. • In the character string buffer, the color of the individual characters change successively once they are transmitted. Character strings that have been transmitted appear successively in the TX/RX details display area. 5 Press [F12] on the USB keyboard to end transmission. ● If there remain characters in the character string buffer that are not transmitted when [F12] is pressed in step 5, > is displayed in the status bar. After transmission of all the character strings is complete, the transceiver switches to the RX mode and the light of the [BUSY/TX] LED and > display go off. ● Pressing [ESC] while transmission of the character strings is in progress switches this transceiver to the RX mode. Transmission of the character strings stops, and character strings in the character string buffer that are not yet transmitted are cleared. ● Time stamp and frequency information can be added to the TX or RX data that is displayed in the TX details display area. Refer to "Displaying a Time Stamp" (5-28). ● Sending a character string using the USB keyboard while the TX/RX display is paused by pressing F3 [PAUSE] cancels the paused state. ● The character strings that can be placed temporarily in the character string buffer can contain a maximum of 4300 characters. ● Alphanumeric characters and symbols that can be input using a USB keyboard are as follows.
