Using the Speech Processor (SSB and AM Modes)

The FT-950’s Speech Processor is designed to increase “talk power” by increasing the average power output, (via a sophisticated compression technique) and adjusting the audio quality to the menu settings (“100 TAUD PE1 FRQ”, “103 TAUD PE2 FRQ”, “106 TAUD PE3 FRQ”. The result is improved intelligibility when conditions are difficult.

1.Adjust the [MIC GAIN] knob for SSB use, as described on page ??.

2.Press the [METER] button repeatedly to select “COMP” (Compression) meter.

3.Press the [PROC] button repeatedly until the “MIC EQ” and “PROC” icons will appear in the display, confirming that the Speech Processor is engaged.

4.Press the [PTT] switch on the microphone, and speak into the microphone in a normal voice level. Observe the deflection of the meter needle on the COMP meter scale.
