RTTY Message Memory

Fixed phrases that are often used in the RTTY mode can be
registered in advance as an RTTY message in the RTTY message
memory. Configuring a message to be saved to auto transmission
(Auto TX) or auto reception (Auto RX) enables the RTTY message
to be transmitted via simple operation. Up to 8 types of RTTY
messages can be registered to Channels 1 to 8 in the memory.

Configuring Auto TX/RX for the RTTY Message
Memory
The transmission and reception behavior can be configured when
an RTTY message memory channel is selected.
• Auto TX places this transceiver in the TX mode before
transmitting a message when a message memory channel is
selected, and maintain the TX mode after all messages have
been sent out.
• For auto RX, pressing [F12] after selecting a message memory
channel for transmission places this transceiver in the TX mode.
When the message is sent out, this transceiver is automatically
restored to the RX mode.
• Combining auto TX and auto RX enables both transmission and
reception to be performed automatically.
