Using the system
Setting up a telex call
Setting up the transmission mode
The Radiotelex system has three transmission modes:
• ARQ (Automatic Repetition reQuest): A mode where two stations can
communicate without breaking the connection. The direction is changed
with an “over” command.
• Selective FEC (Forward Error Correction): A one-way mode to one station.
• Broadcast FEC: A one-way mode broadcast to all stations. E.g. used in
distress situations or for news or coast station traffic lists.
Note
The system must be configured and enabled before use. See Before
you start on page 6.
