Select an appropriate delay time for after the audio signal input to the ACC2 or USB connector ends.

1Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR]or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 70.

2Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to set your desired delay time.

3Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

When using the ACC2 or USB connector for VOX transmission, take the time to properly adjust the VOX gain.

1Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR]or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 71 (USB connector) or Menu No. 72 (ACC2 connector).

2While sending an audio signal to the ACC2 or USB connector, adjust the value (default is 4) using [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] until the transceiver reliably switches to transmit mode each time you send an audio signal to the connector.

3Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

The Speech Processor levels out large fluctuations in your voice while you speak. When using SSB, AM, or FM mode, this leveling action effectively raises

the average TX power (SSB/AM) or raises the deviation to an adequate level (FM), resulting in a more understandable signal. The amount of voice compression is fully adjustable. Using the Speech Processor makes it easier to be heard by distant stations.

• “” appears.

3Press and hold [PROC (LEV)] to enter the Speech Processor input level adjustment mode.

4As you speak into the microphone, turn the MULTI/CH control so that the compression meter indicates that the compression level is around

10 dB while you speak.

•Using higher compression will not improve your signal clarity or apparent signal strength. Excessively compressed signals are more difficult to understand due to distortion and are less pleasant to hear than signals with less compression.

5Press and hold [PROC (LEV)] to exit the Speech Processor input level adjustment mode.

6Press [MIC (CAR)] to enter the Speech Processor output level adjustment mode.

•As you speak into the microphone, turn the MULTI/CH control so that the ALC meter reflects according to your voice level, but does not exceed the ALC limit. Press [MIC (CAR)] to exit when you finish the adjustment.

When using the Speech Processor, you can change its effect.

1Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR]or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 29.

2Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to set the Processor Effect to SOFT or HARD (default).

3Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

Similar to RIT, XIT provides the ability to change your transmission frequency by ±9.99 kHz in steps of

10 Hz without changing your reception frequency. If the Fine Tuning function is ON, the frequency step size becomes 1 Hz (±9.999 kHz).

1Press [XIT].

• “” and the XIT offset appear.

2If required, press [CL] to reset the XIT offset to 0.

3Turn the RIT/ XIT control to change your transmit frequency.

4To turn XIT OFF, press [XIT].

•“” and the offset frequency disappear. The transmission frequency is returned to the frequency that was selected prior to step 1.

Note:

XIf the Fine Tuning function is ON, you can adjust the frequency within ±9.99 kHz.

XThe frequency shift set by the XIT control is also used by the RIT function. Therefore, changing or clearing the XIT offset also affects the RIT offset.

XWhen the XIT frequency goes beyond the available transmission frequency, the transceiver automatically stops transmitting.
