FSK TX DATA
Available settings: MARK HIGH, MARK
LOW.
FSK TX DATA is used to to determine
whether the MARK tone in FSK operation is
on the high tone (2295 Hz) or low tone
(2125 Hz). The standard is for FSK to use
the low tone for MARK. FSK direct to the
radio from a computer sound card (no TNC)
should have this set to ‘high’ so tones will
not be inverted. See the description for
FSK

button, the step sizes available are selected
via repeat pushing of the F1, F2, or F3
button depending on which is being used.
The radio will cycle through the seven
available step sizes.
MODE duplicates the function of the MODE

in Section 2.
A/B duplicates the function of the front panel
A/B button. See
(18) A=B, A>B, SPL, REV

RIT allows the RIT to be turned on and off.
Unlike the front-panel RIT button, there is no
“press to clear” function; assigning RIT
on/off to a function button on the keypad
only allows it to be turned on or off. This
function can be active whether the RIT is
assigned to the remote encoder/keypad or
not.
REMOTE ENC
Available settings: VFO-A, VFO-B, RIT/XIT,
PBT/BW
REMOTE ENC is used for the accessory
302R remote encoder/keypad. The 302R’s
main tuning knob can be used to tune either
VFO-A or VFO-B by selecting the
appropriate VFO on this menu line item.
The 302R main tuning knob can also be
used for RIT/XIT or PBT/BW operation by
selecting RIT/XIT or PBT/BW on this menu
line item.
PBT/BW operation will depend on which of
PBT or BW is selected by pressing the
PBT/BW encoder on the front panel of the
transceiver.
POD ENC RATE
Available settings: FAST, SLOW.
Unlike tuning STEP as set via the STEP
button, the
POD ENC RATE
control is used
to determine how many steps per revolution
the optional 302R remote encoder/keypad
tuning knob makes.
The FAST rate is slightly less than 2x the
SLOW rate.
Set to SLOW and 10 Hz steps (the most
commonly selected step size), one knob
revolution tunes approximately 1.2 kHz.
Set to FAST and 10 Hz steps, one knob
revolution tunes approximately 2 kHz.
