Sometimes the combination of computer software and radio results in the 
FSK signal being sent "upside down" with the Mark and Space frequencies 
reversed. The REV FSK button does another reversal in the radio, 
putting the frequencies back where they belong.

When I first started running FSK on my FT1000MP, I was calling everyone 
and receiving no answers. I turned on the REV FSK function and 
immediately started making contacts.

If you seem to be generating a signal, and it's going out on the air, 
and you're getting no results, try the REV FSK button. It might help.
