Operating RTTY (FSK)
A DSP-based high-quality Baudot RTTY encoder/de-
coder is built-in to the
IC-7850
. When connecting a PC
keyboard, you can operates RTTY without an external
RTTY terminal or PC.
If you would rather use your RTTY terminal, consult
the equipment manual.
Before transmitting, monitor your selected operating
frequency to make sure you don’t cause interference
to other stations on the same frequency.

• “RTTY” or “RTTY-R” is displayed.
Push [DECODE](F).
e
• The RTTY decode screen is displayed.
r
Rotate [MAIN DIAL] to tune a desired signal.
• Aim for a symmetrical wave form, and ensure the peak
points align with the mark (2125 Hz) and shift (170 Hz)
frequency lines in the FFT scope.
Rotate [RF PWR] to adjust the output power.
