■ Operating RTTY (FSK)
A DSP-based high-quality Baudot RTTY encoder/
decoder is built-in to the IC-7700. When connecting a
PC keyboard (p. 2-6), you can operates RTTY without
anexternalRTTYterminalorPC.
If you would rather use your RTTY terminal, consult
the manual that comes with the RTTY terminal.
