Psk Operation - Icom IC-7600 Instruction Manual

PSK operation

A high-quality DSP-based PSK encoder/decoder is
built-in to the IC-7600. When connecting a PC key-
board (pgs. 18, 19), PSK operation can be performed
without PSK software installed on your PC.
If desired, you can also use your PSK software; con-
sult the manual that comes with the software.
q Push a band key to select the desired band.
w Push [RTTY/PSK] to select PSK.
• After PSK mode is selected, push and hold
[RTTY/PSK] for 1 sec. to toggle between PSK and
PSK-R modes.
• "PSK" or "PSK-R" appears.
e Push [DECODE] (F-3) to display the decode
screen.
• The IC-7600 has a built-in PSK decoder.
r Tune to the desired signal with the main dial.
• The signal is properly tuned when the radiated lines
in the vector tuning indicator narrow, as show in the
example below.
• The radiated lines in the vector tuning indicator may be
displayed sporadically.
• When a PSK signal is received, the water-fall display is
activated.
• The water-fall display shows the signals within the pass-
band. Received PSK signals appear as vertical lines.
t Press [F12] of the connected keyboard to transmit.
• [TX] indicator lights red.
y Type from the connected keyboard to enter the
message that you want to transmit.
• The typewritten contents are indicated in the TX buffer
screen and transmitted immediately.
• The text color will be changed when transmitted.
• Press one of [F1]–[F8] to transmit the TX memory con-
tents.
u Press [F12] of the keyboard to return to receive.
For your convenience
The transmission contents can be typed before being
transmitted.
q Perform the steps q to r above.
w Type from the connected keyboard to enter the
message that you want to transmit.
• The message is shown in the TX buffer screen.
e Press [F12] of the connected keyboard to transmit
the message.
• The color of displayed text, in the TX buffer screen, will
be changed when transmitted.
• To cancel the transmission, press [F12] twice.
r Press [F12] of the keyboard to return to receive.
