DATA COMMUNICATION
D
Adjusting the transmit signal from the TNC
NOTE:
For packet operation the transceiver can be
set to one of two data speeds: 1200 bps or 9600
bps. Data speed is set in initial set mode (item “
36
9600 MODE
”; see p.81).
q
Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power OFF.
w
While pushing [LOCK], push [POWER] to turn
power ON.
• Initial set mode is selected and one of its items ap-
pears.
e
Push [MENU] one or more times to select the item
“
36 9600 MODE
.”
• [M-CH] or [
Y
]/[
Z
] can also be used.
r
Rotate the main dial to select the data speeds:
1200 bps or 9600 bps.
t
To exit initial set mode, push [POWER] for 1 sec.
to turn power OFF.
y
Push [POWER] to turn power ON again.
• The conditions selected in initial set mode are now ef-
fective.
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-703.
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 Vp-p–0.5 Vp-p (0.1 Vrms–0.25 Vrms):
acceptable level
2. When not using a measuring device.
q
Connect the IC-703 to a TNC.
w
Enter a test mode (“CAL”, etc.) on the TNC, then
transmit some test data.
e
When the transceiver fails to transmit test data or
transmits sporadically (TX indicator doesn’t appear
or flashes):
Decrease the TNC output level until the transmit
indicator lights continuously.
When transmission is not successful even though
the TX indicator lights continuously:
Increase the TNC output level.
