MONITOR
(
SSB/AM/FM
MODES
)
You may listen to the quality of your transmitted signal using the Monitor feature.
1. Press the [
MONI
] button. The “
” icon will ap-
pear in the display, indicating that the Monitor is turned
on.
2. During transmission, rotate the [
MONI
] knob to ad-
just the audio level in the Headphones or speaker.
Clockwise rotation of this knob will increase the vol-
ume level.
3. To switch the Monitor off again, press the [
MONI
]
button once more. The “
” icon will turn off, con-
firming that the Monitor is now disengaged.
A
DVICE
:
If you are using the speaker for monitoring, excessive
advancement of the [
MONI
] knob can cause feedback
to occur. This feedback can cause the VOX system to
hang up in a loop, making it impossible for VOX to
return to receive. Therefore, we recommend the use of
headphones, if possible. If the speaker must be used,
adjust the [
MONI
] knob to the minimum useable set-
ting.
Because the Monitor feature samples the transmitter
IF signal, it can be very useful for checking the adjust-
ment of the Speech Processor or Parametric Equalizer
on SSB, and for checking the general signal quality on
AM and FM.
