Sets the TX delay time on the 144, 430, or 1200 MHz
band.
L
If an external equipment’s rise time is slower than that
of the IC-9700, a reflected wave is produced and it may
damage the IC-9700 or the external device. To prevent
this, set the appropriate delay time so that no reflected
wave, or timing damage occurs.
L
Select “OFF” for no rise speed.
