Be sure your radio is ready to operate. Set its switches and controls. For DATA rate settings, check the list that follows;
specific information is given there. If your equipment is not listed, set DATA to OFF or match its rate to that of the data
device. Before starting operations, make voice contact with the other station(s).
Make sure your radio is cabled correctly. Refer to the external equipment cabling diagrams.
