116 TGEN VOX DLY
Function: Adjusts the “VOX” Delay (receiver recovery) time on the SSB/AM/FM modes.
Available Values: 30 ~ 3000 msec
Default Setting: 300 msec
117 TGEN ANTIVOX
Function: Adjusts the Anti-VOX Trip Gain which is the level of negative feedback of
receiver audio to the microphone, to prevent receiver audio from activating the
transmitter (via the microphone) during VOX operation.

Default Setting: 50
118 TGEN EMRGNCY
Function: Enables Tx/Rx operation on the Alaska Emergency Channel, 5167.5 kHz.
Available Values: EnA(ENABLE)/diS(DISABLE)
Default Setting: diS(DISABLE)
When this Menu Item is set to “EnA(ENABLE),” the spot frequency of 5167.5 kHz will
be enabled. The Alaska Emergency Channel will be found between the Memory
channels “P-1” and “01 (or 1-01).”
Important: The use of this frequency is restricted to stations operating in or near
Alaska, and only for emergency purposes (never for routine operations). See §97.401(c)

Installation of Optional Accessories
RF µTuning Kit
The RF µTuning Kit provides ultra-sharp RF selectivity for the front end of the
transceiver. Very high Q is made possible by the narrow-band design. Three RF
µTuning Kit are available. The MTU-160 covers the 1.8 MHz band. The MTU-80/40
covers the 3.5 and 7 MHz bands. The MTU-30/20 covers 10.1 and 14 MHz bands.
The narrow bandwidth is especially useful on the low bands, when many strong signals
are being received via NVIS propagation (Near Vertical-Incidence Signals) within a
narrow bandwidth. The added protection for the RF stage is especially helpful in
