9 TRANSMIT FUNCTIONS SELECTING THE AUDIO SOURCE FOR TRANSMISSION BY DATA SEND You can transmit the audio sourced from the MIC connector, ACC 2, (USB-B), or OPTICAL IN connector when the PF key for which [DATA SEND] was assigned is pressed. 1 Press and hold [DATA/SEL] to open the Modulation Source screen. VOX (VOICE-OPERATED TRANSMIT) VOX is a function that allows you to transmit automatically while you are speaking into a microphone and to revert to the receive state when you stop speaking. After speaking into the microphone, pause momentarily to place the transceiver in the receive state. Data VOX enables you to transmit data sourced from connectors other than the MIC connector. 2 Press [ ] (F2) or [ "DATA SEND". ] (F3) to select 3 Press [ ] (F4) or [ ] (F5) to select the audio source.

The "VOX" LED lights green while VOX is active. Note: ◆◆To transmit with VOX enabled, the audio from the microphone is transmitted regardless of the audio source configuration. ◆◆ If the transceiver cannot automatically receive with VOX enabled, reduce the VOX gain, increase the distance between the microphone and speaker or reduce the receive audio volume. Use headphones if the transceiver still cannot automatically receive. SELECTING OR DISABLING THE AUDIO SOURCE FOR DATA VOX In SSB, FM, or AM mode, the transceiver can automatically transmit by entering the minimum level or greater of the data transmit audio from the ANI terminal (ACC 2 connector on the rear panel) or from (USB-A or USB-B), or the OPTICAL IN connector. This function is called Data VOX. Follow the procedure below to change the audio source to be used for Data VOX. 1 Press and hold [DATA/SEL] to open the Modulation Source screen. 2 Press [D.VOX] (F7) to select the audio source for Data VOX. • Each key press cycles the audio source for Data VOX as follows: Off (no audio source for Data VOX) > ACC 2 > USB Audio > Optical > Off. • The default is "Off". • "Off", "ACC 2", "USB" or "OPT." appears on the right side of "D.VOX" on the upper side of the main screen. 3 Press [ESC], or press and hold [DATA/SEL] to exit. 9-2 Index Contents
