OPERATING TNCThis transceiver has a built-in TNC which conforms to
the AX.25 protocol.  This protocol is used for
communications between TNCs.  The TNC accepts data
from your personal computer and assembles it into
packets.  It then converts packets to audio tones which
the transceiver can transmit.  The TNC also takes audio
tones from the transceiver, converts them to data for the
computer, and checks for errors in the data.
The TNC mainly functions in Command or...

FULL DUPLEXThis transceiver is also capable of simultaneously
transmitting and receiving signals.  So, it is possible to
transmit audio on the current band while receiving
packet data on another band (data band).
Press [DUP] to enter Full Duplex mode.¥ ÒDUPÓ appears.To exit Full Duplex mode, press [DUP] again.Note:u
You cannot use the Full Duplex function after recalling the VHF band
on band B or blanking one band.

DX PacketClusters are networks which consist of nodes
and stations who are interested in DXing and contesting.
If one station finds a DX station on the air, he (or she)
sends a notice to his (or her) node.  Then this node
passes the information to all its local stations besides
another node.  This transceiver can display received DX
information and hold the latest information on up to 10

SLOW-SCAN TELEVISION (SSTV) WITH VC-H1
Slow-scan Television (SSTV) is a popular application for
transmitting still images over the air from one station to
another.  The VC-H1 is an optional portable unit which
includes all requirements for SSTV; a slow-scan
converter, a CCD camera, and a LCD monitor.  You can
transmit or receive full-color images just by connecting
the VC-H1 to this transceiver.  For further information on
the VC-H1, see the instruction manual for...

60VC-H1 CONTROLIf you have another transceiver that has the Tone
function, you can use it as a remote control for the
VC-H1.  Transmit a subaudible tone from the remote
control to this transceiver connected with the VC-H1 for
more than 1 second.  Then this transceiver causes the
VC-H1 to capture an image, executes the
superimposition, and  transmits the image to the target
station.  You must select the same tone frequency on
both transceivers;...

AUTOMATIC PACKET/ POSITION REPORTING SYSTEM
Ò
The Automatic Packet/ Position Reporting System
(APRS
Ò) is a software program and registered
trademark of Bob Bruninga, WB4APR.  He has made
packet communications much more exciting than before.
This program allows you to track mobile stations on a
map which you recall on a computer screen.  Imagine
seeing one mobile station moving on the map which can
be scaled from .5 to 2000 miles.  You also may be
tracked on the...
