DSP
Accesses the Digital Signal Processing menu, which includes the following options:
•
••
• CLAR
Controls the clarifier (off/lower frequency/higher frequency). The function key
is not available for TXO (transmit only) channels.
•
••
• NF

PWR Selects the transmit power level: LOW – 5W; MED – 10W; HIGH – 15W; MAX – 25W.
MODE
Selects the operation mode:
• SSB – single sideband
• AME – amplitude modulation equivalent
• PLT – single sideband with pilot signal.
AGC
Controls the automatic gain control function (fast/slow/off).
BW
Selects the filter bandwidth:
• 2.1 – 300 to 2100 Hz
• 2.7 – 300 to 2700 Hz
• 3.0 – 300 to 3000 Hz
• 3.3 – 300 to 3300 Hz. Always select this bandwidth for data transmission
• LSM – bandwidth optimized for use with low speed modems (1450 to 1950 Hz)
• CW (Continuous Wave or Morse operation). The bandwidth used in this case is
selected by MENU > PROG > RAD > PRMT > CW.
RCLV Displays the receive level. The RCLV item appears only if the received signal level display
is not permanently enabled using MENU > PROG > RAD > PRMT > RCLV.
GPS
Displays the GPS data. Refer to para. 3-9 for details.
NOTE
When ALE is active, the following options appear:
• CALL – initiates an ALE call.
• PAGE – displays the stacked received messages.
• MON – enables/disables the speaker during link establishment.
For a description of these options, refer to para. 3-12 (ALE mode).
3-6.2 Selecting the Channel Mode

last used channel.
If not, use the Menu screen to select the Channel mode: this is the first item on the menu you see when
you press MENU.
