Operating RTTY (FSK)
ADSP-based high-quality Baudot RTTY encoder/de-
coder is built-in to the IC-7700. When connecting a PC
keyboard (p. 2-6), RTTY operation can be performed
without an external RTTY terminal, TNC or PC.
If you would rather use your RTTY terminal or TNC,
consult the manual that comes with the RTTY terminal
or TNC.
q Push a band key to select the desired band.

e Push [F-3•DECODE] to display the decode screen.
The IC-7700 has a built-in Baudot decoder.
r To tune the desired signal, aim for a symmetrical
waveform and ensure the peak points align with the
mark (2125 Hz) and shift (170 Hz) frequency lines
in the FFT scope.
The S-meter indicates received signal strength when
signal is received.
