Select LSB or USB with the MODE key.

16 I Turn the AF gain control clockwise until a signal or noise is heard.

p7] Rotate the TUNING knob and select an open channel.

Since AFSK using the SSB mode is normally used for 300 baud packet transmissions, the AFSK signal is applied to
the MIC signal line. This is possible in both the USB and LSB modes, but the frequency of the signal that is actually

transmitted is the display frequency plus the modulation frequency in USB mode, and the display frequency minus
the modulation frequency in LSB mode. Since various modulation frequencies are used by different TNC’s, you
should determine the correct operating frequency, taking the AFSK frequency of the TNC that you are using into

consideration when performing your calculations.
