ENTERING CALL SIGN/ MESSAGE/ RSV
Use the following procedures to enter a call sign, a
message, or an RSV report. RSV stands for readability,
signal strength, and video. If you receive a clear image
free from noise, the RSV report should be 595.
Note: The only difference among Menus 3–1, 3–3, and 3–5 is the
maximum number of digits that you can enter. So you may enter another
message using Menu 3–5, for example.
1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode.
2 Press [3], [1] to select “3–1 (MY CALL)”, or [3], [3] to
select “3–3 (MESSAGE)”, or [3], [5] to select “3–5
(RSV)”.
• The display for entering characters appears; the first
digit blinks.

maximum digits, press [OK] twice.

backward.

blinking.

You can also use the keypad to enter alphanumeric
characters in step 3. For example, each press of [TNC]
switches entry as A, B, C, then 2. Press [DUAL] to
switch 0 and space. Press [ENT] to switch among the
special ASCII characters.
