When the message is sent out, this transceiver is automatically restored to the RX mode. • Combining auto TX and auto RX enables both transmission and reception to be performed automatically. 1 Press F3[ ] / F4[ ] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to select the message for auto TX/RX. 2 Press F6 [AUTO.TX] to set auto TX to ON. > is displayed to the right of the RTTY message. . .. 2 Press F3[ ] / F4[ ] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to select the channel for saving the RTTY message. 3 Press F5 [MSG] to enter the RTTY message memory edit mode. 4 Use the function keys, [MULTI/CH] control or USB keyboard to enter a character string.
