MDN
(Data Modem): This function allows you to copy PSK-31 signals on the display screen without
using an external modem or computer. Place radio in SSB mode, then press
MDN
to access the modem
display screen. The graphic display shows PSK signals present in the receiver’s passband. Tune the
VFO
to
move the spectrum display up or down in frequency relative to the triangular decoding marker underneath.
When a PSK signal is centered on the triangular marker, the modem will lock onto it and begin streaming text
below the spectrum display. Three lines of on-screen copy shown. Tuning is very critical, so we recommend
using the AFC correction option to compensate for drift. PSK-31 signals are normally clustered around
3.580.150 MHz, 7.035.150 MHz, and 14.070.150 MHz.
[ ] CAR
(Carrier): Phase method of frequency correction – alternative to AFC.
[ ] AFC
(Automatic Frequency Control): Turn on
AFC
while monitoring PSK signals to ensure the decoder
remains locked in to the incoming signal.
