■ Operating PSK
A high-quality DSP-based PSK31 encoder/decoder
is built-in to the IC-7700. When connecting a PC key-
board (p. 2-6), PSK31 operation can be performed
without PSK software installed on your PC.
If desired, you can also use your PSK software; con-
sult the manual that comes with the software.
