About FSK reverse mode
Received characters are occasionally garbled when
the received signal has Mark and Space tones re-
versed. This reversal can be caused by incorrect TNC
connections, setting, commands, etc. To receive re-
versed FSK signals correctly, select FSK-R mode.
➥
During FSK mode, push and hold [FSK] for 1 sec.
to select FSK and FSK-R mode.

Twin peak filter
The twin peak filter changes audio frequency response
by boosting the mark and space frequencies (2125 and
2295 Hz) for better reception of FSK signals.
➥
During FSK mode, push [APF/TPF] to turn the twin
peak filter ON and OFF.
• “
” appears in the LCD and the [APF/TPF] indicator
above this switch lights green while the filter is in use.
NOTE:
When the twin peak filter is in use, the re-
ceived audio output may increase. This is normal,
not a malfunction.
