D About RTTY reverse mode
Received characters are occasionally garbled when
the received signal has Mark and Space tones re-
versed. This reversal can be caused by incorrect TNC
connections, setting, commands, etc. To receive re-
versed RTTY signals correctly, select RTTY-R mode.
➥ During RTTY mode, hold down
RTTY/PSK
for
1 second to select RTTY and RTTY-R mode.
D Twin peak filter
The twin peak filter changes audio frequency response
by boosting the mark and space frequencies (2125
and 2295 Hz) for better reception of RTTY signals.
➥ During RTTY mode, push
APF/TPF
to turn the
twin peak filter ON or OFF.
•
“
” appears in the LCD and the [APF/TPF] indicator
above this switch lights green while the filter is in use.
NOTE: When the twin peak filter is in use, the
received audio output may increase. This is a nor-
mal, not a malfunction.
