Changing the Microphone Gain Level
Different operators speak at different voice levels, and speak at varying distances from the
radio’s microphone. So as to compensate for these differences, the
VX-6E
includes a
Microphone Gain control, that allows you to set the Microphone Gain to the best level
according to your operating preferences. Here’s how to set the level:
1. Press the [
F/W
] key, then press the [
0
(
SET
)] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 37:

3. Press the [

(

this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set the gain to a different level. The
default setting is “

range desired. The MW coverage is 0.5 MHz to 1.8 MHz, while the shortwave broad-
cast coverage is 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz. In either case, the operat-

by pressing the [MODE(SP S)SQ TYP] key.
