RTTY Decode
The received RTTY signal is decoded and the text is presented on the TFT display.
Cross talk, noise, phasing, etc. may prevent accurate decoding and display of the RTTY text.
1. Before operating with RTTY, set the Menu items in the chart to the below.

Displays the decoded RTTY text.
Displays text entered into the
RTTY sending memory.
When a RTTY signal is not being received,
scrambled characters may be displayed due to
noise and band clutter. The threshold level can
be adjusted so the scrambled text is not dis-
played.
Threshold Level Adjustment
1. Touch [DEC LVL] on the lower left side of the RTTY
decode screen.
2. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, and adjust the threshold
level (between 0 and 100) so scrambled text is not
displayed.
Note that text will no longer be displayed for weak
signals if the level is increased too much.
3. The setting is concluded when 1 second have
elapsed after making the level adjustment.
