8 TRANSMIT FUNCTIONS Selecting Audio Source Input for Data VOX The transmission status can be activated automatically when data audio beyond a certain level is input from the ANI terminal of the ACC 2 connector, (USB-A or USB-B) or LAN connector on the rear panel of this transceiver in the SSB, FM or AM mode. This function is known as Data VOX. The audio source input that is activated with the Data VOX function can be switched using the steps below. 1 Press and hold [DATA] to display the audio source input screen. 2 Press F7 [D.VOX]. Pressing F7 [D.VOX] each time switches the Data VOX audio source. Setting Value Off (default)/ ACC 2/ USB Audio/ LAN • "OFF", "ACC 2", "USB" or "LAN" is displayed to the right of "D.VOX" at the top of the screen. 3 Press and hold [DATA] or press [ESC] to end the process. ● If this transceiver is left connected to an audio source such as a PC when Data VOX is configured to an audio source input setting other than "OFF", this transceiver may be placed in the transmission state by the signals from the audio source. ● When this transceiver is to be left connected to the audio source, set the Data VOX audio source input to OFF to prevent transmission that is unintended. Configuration Example Transmission via PTT by modulating signals from MIC in the SSB mode or transmission via DATA VOX by modulating signals from a PC via USB Audio in the SSB-DATA mode. Settings when DATA mode is OFF: • SEND/PTT Front: MIC, Rear: Off • DATA SEND (PF) Front: Off, Rear: USB Audio • DATA VOX: Off Settings when DATA mode is ON: • SEND/PTT Front: MIC, Rear: Off • DATA SEND (PF) Front: Off, Rear: USB Audio • DATA VOX: USB Audio Adjusting VOX Gain VOX gain of the VOX function allows the VOX gain level to be adjusted according to the loudness of the audio input from the MIC connector or the noise in the surroundings. VOX gain of the input data from the ANI terminal of the ACC 2 connector, (USB-A or USB-B) or LAN connector on the rear panel of this transceiver can be adjusted in the Data VOX mode. 1 Press and hold [VOX] to display the VOX configuration screen. 4 Press F6 [-]/ F7 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to adjust the VOX level. Input signal from the audio source selected in step 2, and adjust the level to activate transmission when audio signals are input. Setting Value 0 to 10 (default) to 20 (1 step) 5 Press and hold [VOX] or press [ESC] to end the process. The VOX configuration screen ends when the transmitting end is configured to a mode (non-audio mode) other than SSB, AM and FM mode. Adjusting the Anti VOX Gain Level When the VOX function is ON, transmission may be activated by the playback sound from the speaker in some cases in addition to audio from the microphone. Speaker sound may be transmitted if the speaker volume is configured to a high level. This function can be used to prevent unintended transmission by configuring the anti VOX level to adjust the lower limit for activating the VOX function with respect to the playback sound from the speaker. 1 Press and hold [VOX] to display the VOX configuration screen. 2 Press F2 [ ]/ F3 [ ] to select the audio source input. 3 Press F4 [ ]/ F5 [ ] to select "ANTI VOX". 4 Press F6 [-]/ F7 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to adjust the sensitivity of the anti VOX gain. Adjust the sensitivity of the anti VOX level so that transmission will not be activated by the playback sound from the speaker. Setting Value 0 to 20 (1 step) • The smaller the anti VOX gain value, the more susceptible the transceiver is to playback sound from the speaker. • The default settings are as follows. • Microphone: 10 • ACC 2: 0 • USB: 0 • LAN: 0 5 Press and hold [VOX] or press [ESC] to end the process. ● When a headphone is connected to the PHONES connector, the VOX function (transmission) will not be activated by the speaker audio regardless of the audio source and anti VOX level settings. ● Anti VOX gain applies to audio sources other than Data VOX. ● The speaker output level is compared with the ANTI VOX level for any input line. . On the VOX configuration screen, the horizontal rows represent the audio source input while the vertical columns represent the setting item. 2 Press F2 [ ]/ F3 [ ] to select the audio source input (horizontal row). Select the audio source input row to adjust from "MIC", "ACC 2", "USB" and "LAN". 3 Press F4 [ ]/ F5 [ ] to select the "VOX GAIN". 8-2

Selecting Audio Source Input for Data VOX
The transmission status can be activated automatically when data
audio beyond a certain level is input from the ANI terminal of the
ACC 2 connector,
(USB-A or USB-B) or LAN connector on
the rear panel of this transceiver in the SSB, FM or AM mode. This
function is known as Data VOX.
The audio source input that is activated with the Data VOX function
can be switched using the steps below.
1
Press and hold [DATA] to display the audio source
input screen.
2
Press F7 [D.VOX].
Pressing
F7 [D.VOX]
each time switches the Data VOX audio
source.
Setting Value
Off (default)/ ACC 2/ USB Audio/ LAN
•
“
OFF
”
,
“
ACC 2
”
,
“
USB
”
or
“
LAN
”
is displayed to the right of
“D.VOX” at the top of the screen.
3
Press and hold [DATA] or press [ESC] to end the
process.
●
If this transceiver is left connected to an audio source
such as a PC when Data VOX is configured to an audio
source input setting other than “OFF”, this transceiver
may be placed in the transmission state by the signals
from the audio source.
●
When this transceiver is to be left connected to the audio
source, set the Data VOX audio source input to OFF to
prevent transmission that is unintended.
Configuration Example
Transmission via PTT by modulating signals from MIC in the SSB
mode or transmission via DATA VOX by modulating signals from
a PC via USB Audio in the SSB-DATA mode.
Settings when DATA mode is OFF:
•
SEND/PTT
Front: MIC, Rear: Off
•
DATA SEND (PF)
Front: Off, Rear: USB Audio
•
DATA VOX: Off
Settings when DATA mode is ON:
•
SEND/PTT
Front: MIC, Rear: Off
•
DATA SEND (PF)
Front: Off, Rear: USB Audio
•
DATA VOX: USB Audio
Adjusting VOX Gain
VOX gain of the VOX function allows the VOX gain level to be
adjusted according to the loudness of the audio input from the MIC
connector or the noise in the surroundings.
VOX gain of the input data from the ANI terminal of the ACC 2
connector,
(USB-A or USB-B) or LAN connector on the rear
panel of this transceiver can be adjusted in the Data VOX mode.
1
Press and hold [VOX] to display the VOX
configuration screen.
On the VOX configuration screen, the horizontal rows
represent the audio source input while the vertical columns
represent the setting item.
2
Press F2 [
]/ F3 [
] to select the audio source
input (horizontal row).
Select the audio source input row to adjust from “MIC”, “ACC
2”, “USB” and “LAN”.
3
Press F4 [
]/ F5 [
] to select the “VOX GAIN”.
4
Press F6 [–]/ F7 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control
to adjust the VOX level.
Input signal from the audio source selected in step 2, and adjust
the level to activate transmission when audio signals are input.
Setting Value
0 to 10 (default) to 20 (1 step)
5
Press and hold [VOX] or press [ESC] to end the
process.
The VOX configuration screen ends when the transmitting
end is configured to a mode (non-audio mode) other than
SSB, AM and FM mode.
Adjusting the Anti VOX Gain Level
When the VOX function is ON, transmission may be activated by
the playback sound from the speaker in some cases in addition to
audio from the microphone. Speaker sound may be transmitted if
the speaker volume is configured to a high level. This function can
be used to prevent unintended transmission by configuring the anti
VOX level to adjust the lower limit for activating the VOX function
with respect to the playback sound from the speaker.
1
Press and hold [VOX] to display the VOX
configuration screen.
2
Press F2 [
]/ F3 [
] to select the audio source
input.
3
Press F4 [
]/ F5 [
] to select “ANTI VOX”.
4
Press F6 [–]/ F7 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control
to adjust the sensitivity of the anti VOX gain.
Adjust the sensitivity of the anti VOX level so that transmission
will not be activated by the playback sound from the speaker.
Setting Value
0 to 20 (1 step)
•
The smaller the anti VOX gain value, the more susceptible
the transceiver is to playback sound from the speaker.
•
The default settings are as follows.
•
Microphone: 10
•
ACC 2: 0
•
USB: 0
•
LAN: 0
5
Press and hold [VOX] or press [ESC] to end the
process.
●
When a headphone is connected to the PHONES
connector, the VOX function (transmission) will not be
activated by the speaker audio regardless of the audio
source and anti VOX level settings.
●
Anti VOX gain applies to audio sources other than Data
VOX.
●
The speaker output level is compared with the ANTI VOX
level for any input line.
