Instead of using the microphone’s PTT switch or the front panel [MOX] switch to activate the transmitter, the VOX (Voice
Operated TX/RX Control) system provides hands-free, automatic activation of the transmitter, based on voice input into
the microphone. Setup of the VOX system takes only a few seconds.

1. To start, set the [VOX] and [DELAY] knobs fully
counter-clockwise (to the left).
2. Press the [VOX] button to engage VOX operation.

Do not advance the setting of the [VOX] knob too
much, because to do so will make the transmitter re-

4. Now stop speaking, and note the amount of time it takes
for the receiver to recover. If the hang time is too long
or too short; rotate the [DELAY] knob, while speaking
briefly into the microphone and then pausing, so as to
set the desired hang time. Clockwise rotation of the
[DELAY] control will increase the hang time.

5. To exit from VOX operation, press the [VOX] button
once more. We recommend doing this if you are going
to leave your station, to prevent inadvertent activation
of the VOX system by a ringing nearby telephone,
speaker audio from a TV, etc.

DVICE
:
If you are using the speaker for monitoring, instead of
headphones, excessive advancement of the [MONI]
knob can cause feedback to occur. Additionally, this
feedback can cause the VOX system to hang up in a
loop, making it impossible to return to receive. There-
fore, we recommend the use of headphones, if at all
possible, or the minimum usable setting of the [MONI]
knob, if the speaker must be used.

Because the Monitor feature utilizes a sampling of the
transmitter’s IF signal, it can be very useful for check-
ing the adjustment of the Speech Processor or Para-
metric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking the general
signal quality on AM and FM.
