Select the desired frequency band. (p. 3-6) q
On the Mode selection screen, select the RTTY or w
RTTY-R mode. (p. 3-17)
If necessary, adjust the RF power to more than 30 W e
on the Mic gain/RF power adjustment display.
• If your are operating in the 144 MHz band, adjust the RF
power to more than 20 W.
• If your are operating in the 430 MHz band, adjust the RF
power to more than 15 W.
• If your are operating in the 70 MHz band, adjust the RF
power to more than 20 W. (70 MHz band transmission is
available, depending on the transceiver version.)
