[
VOX
] (see page 72)
This is the ON or OFF indicator for the automatic
voice-actuated transmitter switching in the SSB,
AM, and FM modes. The controls affecting VOX
operation are the Menu items “
181 VOX GAIN
”,
“
182 VOX DELAY
”, and “
183 ANTI VOX GAIN
”.
By proper adjustment of these controls, hands-free
voice-actuated operation is possible.

[
PROC
] (
Processor)
(see page 68)
This indicator enables the Speech Processor for SSB
transmission. Adjustment of the Processor level is
accomplished via the
[
PROC/CAR
]
knob.
Advice:

The Speech Processor is a tool for increasing
the average power output through a compres-
sion technique. However, if the Processor level
is advanced too far, the increase in compression
becomes counter-productive, as intelligibility
will suffer. We recommend that you monitor the
sound of your signal using the Monitor (with
headphones).
[
DNR
] (see page 57)
This indicator turns the Main band (VFO-A) re-
ceiver’s Digital Noise Reduction circuit on and off.
Adjustment of the Noise Reduction level is accom-
plished via the Menu item “
110 DNR LEVEL
”.
[
MIC EQ
] (see page 66)
This indicator enables the Three-Band-Parametric
Microphone Equalizer. The Equalizer settings are
activated via the Menu.
[
DNF
] (see page 57)
This indicator turns the Main band (VFO-A) receiv-
er’s Digital Notch Filter on and off. This is an auto-
matic circuit, and there is no adjustment knob for the
DNF.
[
KEYER
] (see page 77)
This indicator toggles the internal CW keyer on and
off. The Keyer sending speed is adjusted via the
front panel’s
[
MIC/SPEED
]
knob and the CW Hang
Time is adjusted via the Menu item “
062 CW BK-IN
DELAY
”.
[
ZIN/SPOT
] (see page 81)
This indicator enables the CW receiver spotting tone.
By matching the SPOT tone to that of the incoming
CW signal (precisely the same pitch), you will be
“zero beating” your transmitted signal with the fre-
quency of the other station.
CLOCK
Indicates the current time.
To set the clock:
1. Press and hold the
[
C.S
]
button until the ashing
clock digits appear on the display.
2. Enter the present time via the number keys (band
keys).
3. Press the
[
ENT
]
button.
4. Setup of the clock is now complete.
