ADJUSTING THE SPEECH PROCESSOR OUTPUT LEVEL ' TRANSMIT FUNCTIONS 9 ADJUSTING THE EFFECT OF THE SPEECH PROCESSOR You can configure how to process the transmit signal with the speech processor. You can select either "Hard", which prioritizes an increase in the mean transmit power in spite of the distortion that may be left in the transmit signal, or "Soft", which has a smaller effect but less distortion may occur. 1 Press and hold [PROC/SEL] to open the Speech Processor Effect screen. .PEF
LFZT 1 Press one of the mode keys to enter SSB or AM mode. 2 Press [PROC/SEL] to enable or disable the Speech Processor. 3 Press [METER/ with Meter name] (F) to select "METER/ALC". • If "Type 2" or "Type 3" is configured for the Meter Type, each key press cycles the key name as follows: "METER/ ALC" > "METER/Vd" > "METER/Po" > "METER/SWR" > "METER/Id" > "METER/COMP" > "METER/ALC". Select the "METER/ALC" function key. • The meter on the main screen will work as a transmit power level meter (ALC). 2 Press [ ] (F2) or [ ] (F3), or rotate the MULTI/CH control to select the desired effect of the speech processor. You can select "Hard" or "Soft". 3 Press [ESC], or press and hold [PROC/SEL] to exit. 4 Press [SEND], or press down the PTT (microphone) switch. The transceiver is placed into the transmit state. 5 While you are speaking into the microphone, rotate the PROC OUT control to adjust the output level. You can adjust the output level so that the meter needle will swing more or less. Note: ◆◆If you excessively increase the output level, the transmit signal may be distorted resulting in the deterioration of the waveform. ◆◆The output level of the speech processor is applied to both the audio entered from the microphone and the audio source configured in the Modulation Source screen. ◆◆In FM mode, the output level of the speech processor is fixed; you cannot change the level.
