DATA MODE CONFIGURATION
TRANSMISSION BY THE PTT SWITCH, SS PIN AND
SEND
You can use the [PTT] switch of the microphone, the SS
pin of the REMOTE connector, or [SEND] on the front
panel to toggle between the transmit mode and receive
mode. Usually, in this operation, audio input from the
microphone is transmitted.

[SEND]
TRANSMISSION WITH DATA PTT OR DATA SEND
Use [PF A] or [PF B], to which "DATA SEND" is assigned,
or the DATA PTT (on the PKS pin of the ACC 2 connector)
to toggle between the transmit mode and receive
mode. Refer to "PF (Programmable Function" for further
details. {page 16-6}
With this operation, usually audio signals on
the USB Audio line or the ANI pin of the ACC 2 connector
are transmitted. Different audio source can be specified.
This function is convenient when you send audio or data
from external devices.
• The transceiver continues transmission while the DATA PTT
(the PKS pin of the ACC 2 connector) is connected to the
GND.
• Press a PF key, to which "DATA SEND" is assigned, to toggle
between the transmit mode and receive mode.
Note:
◆ If "On" is configured for DATA VOX, you can automatically
transmit. {page 9-2}

Configuration for the transmit audio source line has
been completed. Keep in mind that the transceiver may
transmit unexpectedly depending on the combination of

to a PC or other audio source through the USB Audio,
Optical or ACC 2 line and while the DATA VOX is active, the
transceiver may transmit triggered by audio emitted by the
audio source.

◆ If audio from a source other than the microphone is enabled
and if DATA VOX is enabled, that audio signal will be
transmitted. {page 9-2}
◆ USB Audio and ACC 2 cannot be enabled at the same time as the
DATA TX source. When one of the lines is activated, the other line
is deactivated.
