To Receive FAX
Press <F2> to enter the receive mode. You will get a message something like
"Waiting for cmd: prompt for 1278. Press escape to abort receive FAX."
When the TNC is ready the screen will change to the autostart screen as below:
At this time check the FAX mode that you wish to receive. The current mode
will be displayed in the screen above. Select a FAX mode from 1 to 7. Most of
what you will be receiving will be FAX mode 1(wire photos) or 3(weather
service).
You should be tuned to a FAX station or already receiving a FAX signal. If you
are tuned to a station you can wait for the autostart tone to engage receive. If
you are receiving a FAX signal press <Space> to begin receive.
As you receive a FAX you will see the data scroll up or down the screen. Check
to make sure the picture has good contrast. If the picture is too dark or washed
out, tune slightly up or down frequency to correct the problem.
