Page 177 OTHER FUNCTIONS • Read the instructions supplied with your TNC carefully before attempting packet operation with the transceiver. • Pin t AF OUT is for 1200 bps operation only. This pin cannot be used for 9600 bps operation. • Over modulation may degrade signal quality. If you find that many transmissions are failing, re-adjust the modulation level.

Page 179 OTHER FUNCTIONS D Adjusting the transmit signal output from the TNC When setting data transmission speed to 9600 bps, the data signal coming from the TNC is applied exclusively to the internal limiter circuitry to automatically maintain band width. NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over 0.6 V p-p, otherwise the transceiver will not be able to maintain the band width and may possibly interfere with other stations.
