FCC WARNING SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES Carefully unpack the transceiver. You may need to repack the transceiver in the future. This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. [. . . ] The following sub-sections provide information that will help you tailor your transmitted signal. 13 to change the transmit bandwidth between 2. 4 kHz (normal) and 2. 0 kHz (narrow). The default is 2. 4 kHz. MONITORING TRANSMITTED SIGNALS While operating in the SSB, FM, or AM mode, monitoring your transmitted signals is a good method for judging intelligibility by other stations. You may use this function, for example, while selecting an optimum TX equalizer profile. The default is OFF. Note: Bandwidth 2. 4 kHz (Normal) 2. 0 kHz (Narrow) Lower Cut-off Frequency 300 Hz 500 Hz Higher Cut-off Frequency 2. 7 kHz 2. 5 kHz When the monitor volume is high or the Speech Processor is ON, speaker output audio may be picked up by your microphone, resulting in a howling phenomenon. So the quality of this audio slightly differs from the quality of audio which other stations will hear. The position of the AF control does not affect the monitor volume. Equalizing Transmit Audio (SSB/FM/AM) Use Menu No. You can select from five different transmit profiles including the default flat response . Selecting any of the following items from the Menu causes "TX EQ. " to appear on the display. · High boost (Hb): Emphasizes higher audio frequencies; effective for a bassy voice. · Formant pass (FP): Improves clarity by suppressing audio frequencies outside the normal voice frequency range. · Bass boost (bb): Emphasizes lower audio frequencies; effective for a voice with more high frequency components. · Conventional (c): Emphasizes by 3 dB frequencies at 600 Hz and higher. Amplitude Conventional Formant pass High boost Off Bass boost TRANSMIT INHIBIT Transmit Inhibit prevents the transceiver from being placed in the transmit mode. TX Inhibit ON: Transmissions are not possible. Switch the function ON or OFF via Menu No. The default is OFF. CHANGING FREQUENCY WHILE TRANSMITTING Moving your frequency while transmitting is usually an unwise practice due to the risk of interference to other stations. However, if necessary, by using the Tuning control you can change the operating frequency while transmitting. While transmitting, if you select a frequency outside the transmit frequency range, the transceiver is automatically forced to receive mode. If you selected transmit mode by pressing [SEND], transmission will not resume until you select a frequency inside the transmit frequency range, and you press [SEND] again. 0. 7 2. 2 Note: Audio frequency (kHz) "U" selectable in Menu No. The menu includes this selection because of a possible future enhancement. The actual profiles will be affected by factors such as the transmit IF filters. 33 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS CW BREAK-IN Break-in allows you to transmit CW without manually switching between transmit and receive modes. Semi Break-in: When the key contacts open, the transceiver automatically waits for the passage of the time period that you have selected. Full Break-in: As soon as the key contacts open, the transceiver returns to the receive mode. ELECTRONIC KEYER This transceiver has a built-in electronic keyer that can be used by connecting a keyer paddle to the transceiver's rear panel. [. . . ] When oblique lines are drawn in the 1st and 2nd columns, there is no Answer command. !0 Indicates the function of the parameter. COMPUTER CONTROL COMMAND TABLES Note: Parameters that have a Parameter Function of "NOT USED" are not supported by this transceiver. Any character except the ASCII control codes (00 to 1Fh) and the terminator (;) may be entered for those parameters.
