Packet Operation - Yaesu FT-2600M Operating Manual

Packet Operation

Once you have connected your TNC and computer according to the instructions on page
13, there normally is no other configuration of the FT-2600M required for successful op-
eration. The transceiver will automatically be configured for the proper baud rate (1200
bps or 9600 bps) depending on the signal path of the data passing via the rear panel's D
connector.
Normally, the microphone will be cut off during packet transmission, so as to avoid inter-
ference to the data stream by voice input. However, this protection feature can be disabled,
if you have some reason to want the microphone to be active during packet transmission.
To re-activate the microphone during packet transmission:
(1) Press and hold in the [MHz] key for one second, then rotate the Main Dial knob to
select "18 PCKT."
(2) Press the [MHz] key, then rotate the Main Dial knob to select "MIC ON."
(3) Press and hold in the [MHz] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
To disable the microphone during packet transmission (the typical configuration), select
"MIC OFF" in step (2) above.
Packet operating procedures are governed by the software used by your computer and
TNC. Consult the documentation accompanying the software for details on packet opera-
tion.
