5 ASSISTING YOUR SMOOTH QSO CONFIGURATION FOR RTTY ENCODING AND DECODING Enabling the UOS (Unshift on Space) If the received RTTY signal contains a space, use this function to decode the letter next to the space forcibly as a letter code (alphabetical letter). In RTTY, the influence of signal strength or noise causes letter corruption. In order to avoid this problem as much as possible, the function makes it possible to decode the letter after the space as a more frequently used letter code (alphabetical letter). To receive a test string containing numbers and symbols subsequent to a space, you can disable the UOS function. CONFIGURING THE NEWLINE CODE You can configure the newline code used to receive RTTY signals. If "All" is selected, a new line starts whenever the newline code is received. If "CR+LF" is selected, a new line starts only when the CR+LF code is received. 1 Select Group No. 2, "Decoding & Encoding", from the Menu screen. 2 Access Menu 02, "Newline Code". 3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter box. 1 Select Group No. 2, "Decoding & Encoding", from the Menu screen. 2 Access Menu 01, "RX UOS". 3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter box. 4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5), or rotate the MULTI/CH control to select "All" or "CR+LF". The default is "All". 5 Press [ ] (F1). 6 Press [MENU] to exit. 4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "On" or "Off". The default is "On" (encoding a blank letter).
