UP	MIC UP function
VD	Sets or reads VOX delay time.
VR	Triggers the Voice Synthesizer for
	message output.
VX	Sets VOX (OFF/ON).
XT	Sets or reads XIT (OFF/ON).

ERROR MESSAGES

In addition to the Answer Command, the transceiver can send the following error messages:

Error	Reason for Error
Message
?;	• Command syntax was incorrect.
	• Command was not executed due to
	the current status of the transceiver
	(even though the command syntax
	was correct).
	Note: Occasionally this message may not
	appear due to microprocessor transients in the
	transceiver.
E;	A communication error occurred such
	as an overrun or framing error during a
	serial data transmission.
O;	Receive data was sent but processing
	was not completed.

COMMAND USE PRECAUTIONS

1Do not use the control characters 00 to 1Fh since they are either ignored or cause a Ò?Ó answer.

2Program execution may be delayed while turning the Tuning control rapidly.

3Receive data is not processed if the frequency is entered from the keypad.
