Operating mode selection

SSB (USB/LSB), SSB data (USB data/LSB data), CW,
CW reverse (CW-R), RTTY, RTTY reverse (RTTY-R),
PSK, PSK reverse (PSK-R), AM, AM data, FM and FM
data modes are available in the IC-7800. Select the
desired operation mode as follows.

To select a mode of operation, push the desired mode
switch momentarily. Push the switch again to toggle
between USB and LSB, CW and CW-R, RTTY/RTTY-
R and PSK/PSK-R, AM and FM, if necessary. Push the
switch for 1 sec. to toggle between RTTY and RTTY-
R, PSK and PSK-R, if necessary.
See the diagram below left for the order of selection.

Microphone signals are muted when data mode is
selected.

• Selecting SSB mode

Push [SSB] to select USB or LSB.

• USB is selected first when above 10 MHz; or LSB is se-

lected first when below 10 MHz operation.

(USB is selected when 5 MHz band is selected for the

USA version.)

• After USB or LSB is selected, push [SSB] to toggle be-

tween USB and LSB.

• Selecting CW mode

Push [CW] to select CW.

• After CW is selected, push [CW] to toggle between CW

and CW reverse mode.

• Selecting RTTY/PSK mode

Push [RTTY/PSK] to select RTTY or PSK.

• After RTTY or PSK is selected, push [RTTY/PSK] to tog-

gle between RTTY and PSK.

• After RTTY or PSK is selected, push [RTTY/PSK] for

1 sec. to toggle between RTTY and RTTY reverse, or,
PSK and PSK reverse mode, respectively.

• Selecting AM/FM mode

Push [AM/FM] to select AM or FM.

• After AM or FM is selected, push [AM/FM] to toggle be-

tween AM and FM.

• Selecting DATA mode

After USB, LSB, AM, synchronous AM or FM is se-
lected, push [DATA] to select USB data, LSB data,
AM data, synchronous AM data or FM data mode,
respectively.

• After data mode is selected, push [DATA] to toggle be-

tween regular voice and data mode.

• After data mode is selected, push [DATA] for 1 sec. to

select data 1, 2 and 3 in sequence.
