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 (see
p. 54 item 29
9600 MODE
).
Data speed is set in initial set mode (see p. 53 item 29
9600 MODE
).When setting data transmission
speed to 9600 bps, the
DATA
signal coming from the
TNC is applied exclusively to the internal limiter cir-
cuitry to automatically 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.

E::
Read the instructions supplied with your
TNC carefully before attempting packet operation
with the IC-706MKIIG.
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.
➀
Connect the IC-706MKIIG 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 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.
