§ While transmitting audio data, adjust MIC gain for
no more than 4 to 5 bars of ALC indication.
§ RX/TX EQ and TX CMP are not applicable to
DATA A and AFSK A modes.
Text Decode And Display
The KX2 can decode CW, PSK31 or PSK63 (PSK D)
and RTTY (FSK D). CW speeds from about 8 to 70
WPM can be decoded. Decoded text is displayed on
VFO B. If no signal is tuned in, random characters may
be displayed.
To set up text decode:
§ Select the desired mode (CW, FSK D, or PSK D)
using MODE or DATA.
§ If a special VFO B display mode is in effect,
cancel it by tapping DISP.
§ You’ll probably want to turn on CWT as a tuning
aid (pg. 21). Also, auto-spot (pg. 21) can be used to
automatically tune in signals.
§ Hold TEXT . In DATA modes, this will alternate
between DEC ON and DEC OFF. (The T mode
icon appears when it is on). In CW mode, use
OFS/B to select a text decode mode. TX
ONLY displays only CW characters you send
using the internal keyer. To decode text from on-
air CW signals, use one of the RX THRn
settings. Turn CWT on and adjust the threshold so
that the CWT bar graph segment flashes in time
with the incoming CW. Use higher RX THRn
settings for stronger signals as well as faster CW
speeds.
§ In CW, PSK-D and FSK-D modes, transmitted text
can be captured (see MENU:LOGGING).
§ Use a filter bandwidth of 0.30 kHz or less.
§ For further details on data modes, see pg. 27.
