FM Transmission
Basic Setup/Operation
1. Press the MODE(<) or MODE(>) key so as to select the FM mode.
2. Press the microphone’s PTT switch, and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. Release the PTT switch to
return to the receive mode.
3. If you get reports that your modulation level is too high or too low, you may need to adjust the FM-mode microphone
gain. The procedure is similar to that used on SSB:
・
Press the [F] key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row “i”
[MTR, PWR, DISP] appears on the display, then press the [A](MTR) key to select the “Deviation” meter
function (“MOD” will appear above the [B] key).
4. Press and hold in the [F] key for one second to enter the Menu mode.
5. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to recall Menu Mode No-051 [FM MIC GAIN].
6. Rotate the DIAL to increase or decrease the setting of the FM Mic Gain, depending on the level correction required,
then press and hold in the [F] key to save the new setting.
7. Close the PTT switch, and while speaking into the microphone observe the meter indication; the proper setting of the
FM Mic Gain will produce eight “bars” of indication on voice peaks, slightly less on lower levels of speech input.
8. When done, press and hold in the [F] key to save the new setting for the FM-mode microphone gain.
9. The VOX feature is operational during FM transmission. From Multi Function Row “d” [RPT, REV, VOX], press the
[C](VOX) key to activate/deactivate VOX.
