CONFIGURING THE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION FOR THE
RTTY MESSAGE MEMORY
If you select an RTTY message memory channel, you can
configure independently for each RTTY message memory
channel whether or not the RTTY message is transmitted
automatically and whether or not the transceiver enters
receive after it’s been sent.
Automatic transmit sends the RTTY message as soon
as the channel where a RTTY message is stored is
selected. The transmit state is maintained even after the
entire message is transmitted. Therefore, this function
is convenient if you wish to transmit your own text string
using a USB keyboard after the RTTY message is
transmitted using the RTTY message memory.
Automatic receive is a function to revert to the receive
mode after an RTTY message has been sent. Selecting
the channel number, that contains an RTTY message
to be sent, automatically starts transmitting the RTTY
message, or the RTTY message temporarily stored in the
buffer for the text string can be sent with a press of [F12]
of a USB keyboard. The transceiver can automatically
enter the receive mode when the RTTY message is
transmitted.
A combination of automatic transmission and automatic
reception makes it possible to transmit and receive
messages automatically.
[F1] [F7]
[FSK/PSK/REV] [ESC] [MULTI/CH]
1 Press [FSK/ PSK/ REV] to enter RTTY (FSK) mode.
2 Press [DECODER] (F3) to open the RTTY Encode/
Decode screen.

5 Press [AUTO.TX] (F6) to enable the automatic
transmission.
Configures the transceiver so that an RTTY message will be
automatically transmitted from the corresponding channel
when "AUTO TX" appears on the right side of the RTTY
message. Even if the "AUTO TX" disappears, the RTTY
message for that channel is temporarily stored in the buffer of
a text string and will not automatically be sent.
6 Press [AUTO.RX] (F7) to enable the automatic
transmission.
Configures the transceiver so that the transceiver will revert
to a receive state after an RTTY message is transmitted
from the corresponding channel when "AUTO RX" appears
on the right side of the RTTY message. Even if "AUTO RX"
disappears, the transceiver does not revert to the receive
mode after the RTTY message for that channel is sent.
7 Press [ ] (F1).
8 Press [ESC] to exit.
Note:
◆ To send the RTTY message for which automatic transmission is
enabled, select the channel where the RTTY message is stored.
After you confirm that a text string (RTTY message) has been
transferred to the buffer of a text string, press [F12] of the USB
keyboard.
◆ To place the transceiver in the receive mode after the RTTY
message for which automatic reception is disabled, press [F12] of
the USB keyboard.
