5 COMMUNICATING AIDS Displaying a Time Stamp A time stamp is inserted when there is a change in the encoding or decoding status. Selecting a Time Stamp Type It is possible to select whether to display only the time stamp or to display both the time stamp and frequency. Configure in Menu [2-15] "CW/RTTY/PSK Time Stamp" Setting Value Off/ Time Stamp/ Time Stamp+Frequency (default) Off: Does not display a time stamp. Time Stamp: Displays only the time stamp. Time Stamp+Frequency: Displays both the time stamp and frequency. Selecting a Clock Type Configure the clock for displaying the time stamp to a "Local Clock" or "Secondary Clock". Configure in Menu [2-16] "Clock (CW/RTTY/PSK Time Stamp)" Setting Value Local Clock (default)/ Secondary Clock • When encoding or decoding starts, a line break and time stamp will be inserted before displaying the encoded or decoded character string. Editing the Communication Log File 1 In the CW communication screen, press and hold F2 [LOG]. In the RTTY and PSK communication screens, press and hold F4 [LOG]. The screen for selecting log file appears. Operation in FM Mode Operating in the FM mode enables high-quality voice communication as well as communication that is noise-resistant. Communication in the FM mode is also supported on the 29 MHz, 50 MHz and 70 MHz (E type) bands. To communicate with a distant station for which communication cannot be established directly, do so via a repeater. Adjusting Microphone Gain during Operation in FM Mode 1 Adjust the frequency. 2 Press [FM/AM/FM-N] to select FM mode. 3 Press [MENU]. 4 Press F [ADV.] to display the Advanced Menu screen. • If F [ADV.] is not displayed, press F [MORE] to display F [ADV.]. 5 Select Advanced Menu [10] "Microphone Gain (FM Mode)". 6 Press [SEND], or press and hold [PTT] on the microphone. This transceiver is placed in the TX mode and a level meter is displayed. 7 Speak into the microphone in the normal tone and loudness. 8 Press F4 [-]/ F5 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to adjust the microphone gain. Setting Value 0 to 50 (default) to 100 (1 step) • Adjust the microphone gain level such that the peak value of the level meter falls within the zone. 9 Press [SEND] or release [PTT] on the microphone. Doing so places this transceiver in the RX mode. 10 Press F1 [ ]. ● When using a microphone with a low sensitivity such as the MC-90, adjust the microphone gain to a higher level. ● When a microphone with a low sensitivity is used, the modulation factor may stabilize by setting the speech processor to ON. 2 Press F2[ ]/ F3[ ] to select a file. • Pressing F4 [VIEW] displays the log information of the selected file. .. • To read data from the internal memory, press F7 [INT.MEM]. • To read data from the USB flash drive, press F7 [USB.MEM]. (If a USB flash drive is not connected, a message will appear prompting you to get ready the USB flash drive.) • Pressing F5 [NAME] allows the file name to be changed. • Pressing F6 [DELETE] displays a message to confirm deletion of the file. Pressing F4 [OK] deletes the file. 5-28
