On the top line – Use the ◄ ►arrow keys to select Tx-IF, Freq, Power, FEC, Mod, Data (Symb
when in IP-ACM mode), or Scrambler, and then press ENTER.
On the bottom line – Read-only Data/Symbol rate information is provided.
When Sub-Mux is ON, Composite Rate information replaces the Data Rate
information on the bottom line of this display.

Use the ◄ ►arrow keys to select Carrier, POCO (Power-On Carrier-Off), SpectrumInvert, or Txα
(for Tx Alpha Filter Rolloff Factor), and then press ENTER to continue.
• Carrier: Use the
10s. Press ENTER when done.
USE THE RTI FEATURE WITH EXTREME CARE! RTI (RECEIVE/TRANSMIT INHIBIT),
when selected, prevents transmission of the Tx carrier until the demodulator is
locked. To avoid shutdown of the Tx Carrier when the demodulator loses lock for
a very short duration, before the transmit carrier is inhibited the demodulator
must be unlocked continuously for the selected time period (1, 2, 4, 7, or 10
seconds).
Enabling RTI does not affect the Internal IF Loopback feature. However, be
aware that, if an External IF Loopback is attempted (i.e., connecting an external
cable from the Tx IF output to the Rx IF input), this will not work ! (The Tx carrier
cannot turn on until the demod is locked – the demod cannot lock because the
Tx output is off. The net result is that the demod will not lock and the Tx carrier
will not turn on.)
•
POCO (Power-On Carrier-Off): When enabled (selected as ON), this feature overrides the Tx
setting to OFF in the event of a power-cycle of the modem. Use with caution.
SPECTRUM INVERT should normally be in the OFF position. For all FEC types
except BPSK, when Spectrum Invert is in the ON position the transmit spectrum is
inverted (which is the same as reversing the direction of phase rotation in the
modulator). In BPSK, the time-order of bits out of the FEC encoder is reversed to
