RTTY Operation

This transceiver comes with a built-in demodulator for RTTY
operation, a RX decoder and a TX encoder. It is possible to operate
in RTTY (FSK) independently by combining the use of a
commercially available USB keyboard. Also, it is possible to
operate in the RTTY mode by connecting an external device.
Before operating in the RTTY mode, adjust the carrier
