3 COMMUNICATION
DATA OPERATION (PACKET, AMTOR, RTTY)
Data communications over radio is easier and more
fun than ever. For many, the excitement of amateur
radio has returned due to active experimentation in the
newest modes of digital communications.
RECEPTION
1 Connect your terminal node controller (TNC) signal
cable to the MIC connector. Refer to the "MIC
connector and TNC signal cable" diagram.
2 Switch on the DC power supply, and then switch
on the transceiver.
3 After the "HELLO" message, the frequency and
the other indicators will appear on the display.
2408 8 ow FM
4 Select the receive frequency using the UP and
DOWN buttons and the tuning control.
The frequency may be changed in 1 MHz steps
using the UP or DOWN button (1 MHz indicator
on).
5 Use the SSB/CW or FM/AM button to select the
desired mode.
For digital operation, SSB or FM is used, and LSB
is most common for packet and RTTY. Refer to
the table on page 28. For AMTOR, USB is
normally used. Use Menu A, No. 4 with the
SSB/CW button if it is necessary to select the
opposite sideband. Refer to Menu Set-up on
page 46.
6 Select FAST AGC for these digital modes using
Menu A, No. 2. Refer to Menu Set-up on
page 46.
7 Set the AF control at 10 o'clock, or as suggested

B® Narrow Filter (optional filter required)
If the 0.5 kHz filter is installed, it can be used to
attenuate adjacent frequency interference when
operating narrow shift (170 Hz) RTTY using either LSB
or USB. Install the optional filter following instructions
on page 54, and select the 0.5 kHz selection from
Menu A, No. 03. The -N indicator appears on the
bottom right of the display. The filter selection
remains on until the setting is changed.
If using the filter for RTTY operation, it is necessary to
turn the IF SHIFT control clockwise to center the pass
band on the mark (2125 Hz) and space (2295 Hz)
ATTY frequencies. Set the IF SHIFT control at the
point where the mark and space signal strength is
highest.
