Page 122 FTDX9000D OPERATION MANUAL
Packet operation is easily accomplished on the FT DX 9000 by connecting your TNC (Terminal Node Controller) to the
transceiver, per the illustration. "Packet" operation also applies to SSB-based AFSK data modes, such as PSK31, etc.

Before operation can commence, some basic setup proce-
dures must be performed, using the Menu, to configure
your radio for the data mode to be used.
1. Press the PKT Mode switch.
H For HF operation, SSB-based Data operation is generally used.
One press of the PKT switch will engage Packet operation
in the “LSB” mode (by default). Both the “PKT” and “LSB”
LEDs will become illuminated.
H If you need to do FM-based 1200-baud packet on th4e 29/50
MHz bands, press the PKT switch once more to engage the
“PKT-FM” mode. the “PKT” and “FM” LEDs will both be-
come illuminated.
2. When the “trans it” command is received from the
TNC, the transmitter of the FT DX 9000 will automati-
cally be engaged. Likewise, the command to return to
receive will cause the radio to revert to the receive
mode.
H If you need to adjust the output level from the radio from the
“DATA OUT” pin of the PACKET jack (pin 4), please do
so at the TNC side. For the input level from the TNC, as ap-
plied to the DATA IN pin of the PACKET jack (pin 1), please
use Menu item MODE-PKT 063 PKT GAIN.
H During Packet operation via the rear panel’s PACKET jack,
the front and rear panel MIC jacks are both cut off, so you
won’t have a “live microphone” problem during data opera-
tion.
Note
If you anticipate making data transmissions of longer than
a few minutes, we recommend that you use the RF PWR
control to reduce the transmitter power to 1/2 ~ 1/3 of its
normal maximum.
