ANUAL
Packet operation is easily accomplished on the
FT-950
by connecting your TNC (Terminal Node Controller) to the trans-
ceiver, per the illustration. “Packet” operation also applies to SSB-based AFSK data modes, such as PSK31, etc.

Before operation can commence,
some basic setup procedures must
be performed using the Menu, to
configure your radio for the data
mode to be used.

1. Press the [
RTTY/PKT
] button, briefly, to toggle the
selected Packet mode. Press the [
RTTY/PKT

:
When both “
” and “
” icons appear on the
display, the mode is LSB SSB-based Data opera-
tion which is generally used for HF operation.
If you need to do FM-based 1200-baud packet on
the 29/50 MHz bands, press and hold in the [
RTTY/
PKT
] button repeatedly until the “
” and “
”
icons appear on the display, to engage the “PKT-
FM” mode.
To operate USB SSB-based Data modes, press and
hold in the [
RTTY/PKT
] button repeatedly until
the “
” and “
” icons are shown on the dis-
play, the
FT-950
is configured for Packet opera-
tion in the “USB” mode.
2. When the “transmit” command is received from the
TNC, the transmitter of the
FT-950
will automatically
be engaged. Likewise, the command to return to re-
ceive will cause the radio to revert to the receive mode.
A
DVICE
:
If you need to adjust the output level from the “DATA
OUT” pin (pin 5) of the
RTTY/PKT
jack on the rear
panel of the transceiver, please use Menu item “
051

”. For the input level from the TNC, as
applied to the DATA IN pin (pin 1) of the
RTTY/PKT
jack, please use Menu item “
050 DATA DT GAIN
050 DATA DT GAIN
050 DATA DT GAIN
050 DATA DT GAIN
050 DATA DT GAIN
”.
During Packet operation via the rear panel’s
RTTY/
PKT
jack, the front panel
MIC
jack is cut off, so you
won’t have a “live microphone” problem during data
operation.

:
If you anticipate making data transmissions of longer than
a few minutes, we recommend that you reduce the trans-
mitter power to 1/3 ~ 1/2 of its normal maximum via the
Menu item “
