From the Menu:

1Press [MNU].

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 21 (VOX GAIN).

3Press [] or [MNU].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the desired VOX Gain (default is 4).

•The selectable gain range is from 0 (least sensitive) to 9 (most sensitive).

•The setting should not allow background noise to switch the transceiver to transmit mode.

VOX DELAY TIME

If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after you stop speaking, your final word may not be transmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time that allows all of your words to be transmitted. However, do not make the delay overly long. There are 2 ways of adjusting the VOX Delay Time.

When the VOX function is already ON:

Press []/ [] to select the desired delay time from 250, 500 (default), 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 ms.

Note:

◆If you press [PTT] while the VOX function is ON, the VOX Delay Time is not reflected to the transmission.

◆If you press [CALL] (if 1750 Hz is programmed) {page 13} to transmit 1750 Hz tone, the VOX Delay Time is not reflected.

◆If the DCS function {page 29} is ON, the transceiver remains in the transmission mode for the VOX Delay Time, then it sends “Turn-Off Code” to close the receiving parties squelch.

VOX ON BUSY

You can configure the transceiver to force VOX transmission even if the transceiver is receiving a signal on A or B-band.

1Press [MNU].

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 20 (VOXonBUSY).

3Press [] or [MNU].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select “ON”.

5Press [] or [MNU] to store the setting. Otherwise, press [] or [PTT] to cancel.

Note: You can press [PTT] or [CALL] (if 1750 Hz is programmed) to transmit, regardless of Menu No. 20 (VOXonBUSY) settings.

•The VOX Delay Time, “D: 500ms” changes accordingly.

From the Menu:

1Press [MNU].

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 22 (VOX DELAY).

3Press [] or [MNU].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the desired delay time from 250, 500 (default), 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 ms.
