BASIC OPERATION
■
Voice synthesizer operation
The IC-7410 has a built-in voice synthesizer to an-
nounce the operating frequency, mode and S-meter
level in clear, electronically-generated voice, in Eng-
lish (or Japanese).
First, select the desired parameters to be announced
in the Set mode. (p. 87)
Initial values for the voice synthesizer parameters
• SPEECH Level
: 50%
• SPEECH Language : English
• SPEECH Speed
: HIGH
• SPEECH S-Level
: ON
• SPEECH [MODE] SW : OFF
➥
Push [SPEECH] to announce the S-meter level*
and currently selected frequency.
• If you hold down [SPEECH] for 1 second, the trans
-
ceiver announces the operating mode after the fre-
quency.
* The S-meter level announcement can be turned OFF.
(p. 87)
➥
Push a mode switch to announce the appropriate
mode, when the “SPEECH [MODE] SW” item is set
to “ON” in the Set mode. (p. 87)

Meter Display selection
The transceiver has four transmit meter functions for
your convenience. In addition to Po and ALC, you can
display the SWR or COMP meter by holding down
[ANT•METER] for 1 second.
• Po
: Displays the RF output power in % (percent).
• ALC : Displays the ALC level. When the meter move
-
ment shows the input signal level exceeds the
allowable level, the ALC limits the RF power.
In such cases, rotate the [MIC] control counter-
clockwise to decrease the microphone gain.
• SWR : Displays the SWR of the antenna at the fre
-
quency.
• COMP : Displays the compression level when the
speech compressor is in use.

The RF output power
meter becomes the
S-meter in receive.
