1. ADVANCED CONNECTIONS
FSK, AFSK, PSK connections
The transceiver has a mode key for RTTY and PSK. You can use a PC and an application software to operate
RTTY and PSK using a USB cable. However, if you want to operate AFSK or other digital modes, you can use
the ACC socket on the rear panel through an interface unit. See the interface circuit diagram below for details.
Refer to the software application's instruction manual for setup details.
(Icom does not guarantee performance of the application software, PC, network device or network settings.)

TIP:
• If you set the "USB Serial Function" item to "RTTY Decode," the decoded RTTY signals are output from the
USB port.
• Download the USB driver and the installation guide from the Icom website.
