About the PSK reverse mode
If the received signal is not properly demodulated, try
selecting the PSK-R mode.
In the QPSK mode, the phase shift direction must be
the same on the transmitter and the receiver sides. To
receive the reverse direction signal, select the PSK-R
mode to match the phase shift direction to the trans-
mitter side.
In the PSK mode, hold down [RTTY/PSK] for 1 sec-
➥
ond to select the PSK and PSK-R modes.

AFC/NET functions
The
IC-7851
has an AFC (Auto Frequency Control)
function. This is convenient to tune the PSK signal.
The
IC-7851
also has a NET function that transmits
the PSK signal tuned by the AFC function.
In the PSK decode screen, push [AFC/NET](F).
➥
• Push [AFC/NET](F) selects these functions.

plays the frequency offset between the operating fre-
quency and the PSK signal.
• The AFC tuning range is set to ±15 Hz by default. You
can select a ±8 Hz setting in the PSK decode set mode.

[AFC/NET](F) for 1 second to add the frequency off-
set to the operating frequency.
