8 TRANSMIT FUNCTIONS Selecting a Frequency Characteristic for the TX Equalizer This transceiver comes with 6 types of frequency characteristics for the TX equalizer. In addition, there are 3 other types that can be customized according to the user's preferences. A selection can be made from these options. 1 Press and hold F [TX EQ] to display the TX Equalizer screen. Adjusting the TX Equalizer The frequency characteristics of the TX equalizer can be adjusted to produce the desired sound quality. 1 Press and hold F [TX EQ] to display the TX Equalizer screen. 2 Press F2 [ ]/ F3 [ ] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to select a characteristic. 3 Press F3 [ADJ] to display the TX Equalizer Adjustment screen. .. . . . 2 Press F2 [ ]/ F3 [ ] or turn the [MULTI/ CH] control to select a characteristic. • Make a selection based on the equalizer effects in the table below.

Selecting a Frequency Characteristic for the TX
Equalizer
This transceiver comes with 6 types of frequency characteristics
for the TX equalizer. In addition, there are 3 other types that can
be customized according to the user’s preferences. A selection
can be made from these options.
1
Press and hold F [TX EQ] to display the TX Equalizer
screen.
2
Press F2 [
]/ F3 [
] or turn the [MULTI/
CH] control to select a characteristic.
•
Make a selection based on the equalizer effects in the table
below.
Effects
Purpose
High Boost 1 (HB1)
Boosts the high frequency component. This is
effective for audio sound that contains a low
frequency component.
High Boost 2 (HB2)
Boosts the high frequency component. The low
frequency attenuation level for this option is half
of that of the HB1 option.
Formant Pass (FP)
This option attenuates frequency components
that is outside the audio bandwidth so that the
audio can be heard more clearly.
Bass Boost 1 (BB1)
Boosts the low frequency component. This is
effective for audio sound that contains a high
frequency component.
Bass Boost 2 (BB2)
Boosts the low frequency component. The low
frequency is further boosted compared to BB1.
Conventional (C)
Applies a 3 dB boost to the frequency range of
600 Hz or higher. This is suited for
communication that attenuates gradually as it
approaches the low frequency range.
User 1 (U1)
Frequency characteristics can be adjusted
according to the user’ preferences and stored in
the options between User 1 and User 3. The flat
frequency characteristic is selected in the
default setting.
User 2 (U2)
User 3 (U3)

Press and hold F [TX EQ] or press [ESC] to end the
process.

Press F3 [
]/ F4 [
] to select the frequency
band to adjust.
5
Press F5 [–]/ F6 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control
to adjust the level of each frequency band.
•
Touching a point on the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen
selects the corresponding band and changes the frequency
to the selected level.
An alternative way is to touch a rough point followed by fine-
tuning in steps 3 and 4.
•
Pressing and holding
F2 [(RESET)]
resets all the frequency
levels to the default setting.
