VS-3 VOICE SYNTHESIZER (OPTIONAL)

Install the optional VS-3 unit to use this function. Each time you change the transceiver mode such as VFO A/B or Memory Recall, the transceiver automatically announces the new mode. In addition, you can program the front panel [PF] button so that pressing [PF] makes the transceiver announce the displayed information. If you have the optional MC-47 microphone, you can program one of the Mic [PF] buttons for this function.

For an explanation on how to install the VS-3 unit, refer to “INSTALLING OPTIONS” {page 57}.

The table below shows what the transceiver automatically announces when it enters a new mode.

1When you change the channel or menu number in this mode, the transceiver announces the new number.

2When you enter a number using the numeric keys in Entry mode or Memory Scroll mode, the transceiver announces the entered number.

For the [PF] button, the transceiver will announce different information depending on whether Voice 1 or Voice 2 is selected.

Voice 1:

VFO or memory channel frequencies are announced beginning with the 10 MHz digit and continuing through to the 10 Hz digit. If the memory channel has no data stored, “open” is announced. For the MHz decimal point, “point” is announced. For the kHz decimal point, a short pause (200 ms) is made. A 200 ms pause also is made between the channel number and the frequency.

Menu numbers and their settings are announced with a short pause (200 ms) between the menu number and the setting.

Note: If operating a button or a control changes the contents of the display while an announcement is in progress, the announcement is interrupted.

Voice 2:

Peak readings for the S-meter are announced, for example, “S5” or “20dB”.

Steps:

1Assign Voice 1 or Voice 2 to the front panel [PF] button or, if you use the optional MC-47 microphone, one of the Mic [PF] buttons. For this method, refer to “PROGRAM FUNCTION BUTTON” {page￿49}.

2Press the [PF] button that you programmed.

Announcement is made based on Voice 1 or Voice 2 selection.

To interrupt the announcement, press the [PF] button again.
