Operating RTTY (FSK) (Continued)
D
Twin Peak Filter (TPF)
The Twin Peak Filter (TPF) changes the audio
frequency response by boosting the mark and space
frequencies for better reception of RTTY signals, or
for decoding the AF output signal on a PC.
In the RTTY mode, push
APF/TPF
.
• The TPF function is turned ON, and the indicator on the
key lights.
L
Pushing
APF/TPF
turns the Twin Peak Filter function ON
or OFF.
NOTE
: When you are using the Twin Peak Filter, the
received audio output may increase. This is not a
malfunction.

to tune a signal.
Information
L
• Aim for a symmetrical wave form, and be sure the peak
points align with the mark (2125 Hz) and shift (170 Hz)
frequency lines in the FFT scope.
•
Tune to where both “◄” and “►” are displayed in the
tuning indicator.
• The S-meter displays the received signal strength,
when a signal is received.
• If you are receiving an RTTY signal but cannot decode
correctly, try in the RTTY-R (reverse) mode.

Displaying the RTTY DECODE screen
With the built-in demodulator and decoder, received
RTTY signals are displayed on the RTTY DECODE
screen.

The decode screen for the PSK mode differs
slightly from that of the RTTY mode.
