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 ex-
clusively to the internal limiter circuitry to automati-
cally maintain bandwidth.
NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over 0.6
Vp-p, otherwise the transceiver will not be able to
maintain the band width and may possibly interfere
with other stations.
NOTE: Read the instructions supplied with your
TNC carefully before attempting packet operation
with the IC-7000.
1. When using a level meter or synchroscope, adjust
the TX audio level (DATA IN level) from the TNC as
follows.
0.4 Vp-p (0.2 Vrms): recommended level
0.2–0.5 Vp-p (0.1–0.25 Vrms): acceptable level
2. When not using a measuring device.
➀
Connect the IC-7000 to a TNC.
➁
Enter a test mode (“CAL”, etc.) on the TNC, then
transmit some test data.
➂ When the transceiver fails to transmit test data or
transmits sporadically ([TX] indicator doesn’t light
red or blinks):
- Decrease the TNC output level until [TX] indica-
tor lights red continuously.
When transmission is not successful even though
[TX] indicator lights red continuously:
- Increase the TNC output level.
