DAvailable tone frequency list
NOTE: The transceiver has 50 tone frequencies and con-
sequently their spacing is narrow compared to units having
38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receive
interference from adjacent tone frequencies.
To prevent interference from adjacent tone frequencies,
using the frequencies as in the following table, is recom-
mended.
DCalling a waiting station using pocket beep
Asubaudible tone matched with the station’s CTCSS tone fre-
quency or 3-digit DTCS code with polarity is necessary. Use
the tone squelch on the next page or a subaudible tone en-
coder (pgs. 22, 23).

matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency is
temporarily programmed into the selected condition such
as memory or call channel.
•The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit
DTCS code is detected.

■Packet operation
DData speed
For packet operation, the transceiver can be set to one of two
data speeds: 1200 bps or 9600 bps.
qWhile pushing
[SET•LOCK],
push [PWR] for 1 sec. to enter
initial set mode.
wPush

or [S.MW•MW] to select the ‘BPS’ item.
eRotate [DIAL] to select the desired data speed.
rPush

to exit initial set mode.
For 1200 bps operation—
•Disconnect the microphone plug from the microphone
connector during data transmission, otherwise the data
signal and voice signal are simultaneously transmitted.
For 9600 bps operation—
•When the transceiver is set for 9600 bps data transmis-
sion in set mode, the microphone signal is automatically
cut. Therefore, it is not necessary to disconnect the mi-
crophone plug from the connector in this case.
•
When pushing [PTT] during data transmission, data trans-
mission is interrupted and voice signals have priority.
D1200 bps packet operation
qConnect the transceiver and a TNC as illustrated below.
wSet the TNC for transmit.
eSet transmit delay on the TNC.
rAdjust the TNC frequency deviation if necessary.
•When using a deviation meter:
Adjust the output of the TNC so that frequency deviation
is in the range ± 3 to ±4 kHz.
•When NOT using a deviation meter:
Areceiver or transceiver is needed to monitor the trans-
mission—compare the received audio output level when
receiving a TNC modulated signal with high level voice
signals using the microphone. Then adjust the TNC mod-
ulated signal to a lower level than the voice modulated
signal.

DAdjusting the transmit signal output from
the TNC
When setting data transmission speed to 9600 bps, the data
signal coming from the TNC is applied exclusively to the in-
ternal limiter circuitry to automatically maintain band width.
NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over the accept-
able level below, otherwise the transceiver will not be able to
maintain the band width and may possibly interfere with other
stations.
1. When using a level meter or synchroscope, adjust the
TX audio output level (DATA IN level) from the TNC as
follows.
2 Vp-p (1 Vrms) : recommended level
1 Vp-p–3 Vp-p (0.5–1.5 Vrms) : acceptable level
2. When NOT using a measuring device.
qConnect the transceiver to a TNC.
wEnter a test mode (“CAL,” etc.) on the TNC, then trans-
mit some test data.
eWhen the transceiver fails to transmit the test data or
transmits sporadically (TX indicator doesn’t appear or
flashes):
- Decrease the TNC output level until the transmit indi-
cator lights continuously.
When transmission is not successful even though the
TX indicator lights continuously:
- Increase the TNC output level.
