VOX Gain 50%
This item adjusts the VOX gain for the VOX func-
tion. Higher values make the VOX function more
sensitive to your voice.
While speaking into the microphone with your nor-
mal voice level, rotate the main dial to the point
where the transceiver is continuously transmitting.
This setting can be adjusted from 0% to 100% in 1%
steps.
Anti–VOX 50%
This item adjusts the ANTI-VOX gain for the VOX
function. Higher values make the VOX function less
sensitive to receiver output audio from a speaker or
headphones.
During receive, rotate the main dial to the point
where the transceiver does not switch to transmit
due to received audio from the speaker.
This setting can be adjusted from 0% to 100% in 1%
steps.
VOX Delay 0.2s
Set the VOX delay for a convenient interval before
returning to receive within 0.0 to 2.0 sec. range.

NSplit frequency operation
Split frequency operation allows you to transmit and
receive in the same mode on two different frequen-
cies. Split frequency operation is performed using 2
frequencies on the main and sub readouts.
The following is an example of setting 21.290 MHz for
receiving and 21.310 MHz for transmitting.
qSet 21.290 MHz (USB) in VFO mode.
wPush [SPLIT] momentarily, then push and hold
[CHANGE] for 1 sec.
• The quick split function is much more convenient for
selecting the transmit frequency. See the next section
for details.
• The equalized transmit frequency and “ ”
appear on the LCD.
• [SPLIT] indicator lights.
• “” appears to show the transmit frequency read-
out.
eRotate the main dial while pushing [XFC] to set the
transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz.
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while push-
ing [XFC].
rNow you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit
on 21.310 MHz.
To change the transmit and receive frequencies, push
[CHANGE] to exchange the main and sub readouts.
CONVENIENT
• Direct shift frequency input
The shift frequency can be entered directly.
qPush [F-INP ENT].
w
Enter the desired shift frequency with the digit keys.
• 1 kHz to 1 MHz can be set.
• When you require a negative shift direction, push
in advance.
ePush [SPLIT] to input the shift frequency in the sub
readout and the split function is turned ON.
• Dualwatch function
The dualwatch function is convenient for tuning the
transmit frequency while monitoring both frequencies
used for transmitting and receiving.
• Split lock function (p. ??)
Accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating the main
dial changes the receive frequency. To prevent this,
use both the split lock and dial lock functions to
change the transmit frequency only. The split lock
function cancels the dial lock function while pushing
[XFC] during split frequency operation.
The dial lock’s effect during split frequency operation
can be selected in the set mode for both receive and
transmit frequencies; or only the receive frequency.

NQuick split function
When you find a DX station, an important consider-
ation is how to set the split frequency.
When you push and hold the [SPLIT] switch for 1
sec., the split frequency operation is turned ON, and
the sub readout frequency is equalized to the main
readout frequency, then enters standby for transmit
frequency input.
This shortens the time needed to begin split fre-
quency operation.
The quick split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in others set
mode. (p. ??) In this case, the [SPLIT] switch does
not equalize the main and sub readout frequencies.
qSuppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO mode.
wPush and hold [SPLIT] for 1 sec.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• The sub readout is equalized to the main readout fre-
quency.
• The sub readout enters standby for transmit frequency
input and “ ” appears.
• During FM mode operation, the sub readout frequency
shifts from the main readout frequency according to the
others set mode setting.
eRotate the main dial to set the transmit frequency;
or, input the transmit frequency using the keypad
and [F-INP ENT]; or, input a shift frequency using
the keypad and [SPLIT].
• “ ” disappears when [F-INP ENT] is pushed.
• Offset frequency setting with the keypad and [SPLIT].
[Example]
To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency:
- Push
[1.8 1] then [SPLIT].
To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency:
- Push
[GENE •], [7 3] then [SPLIT].
DSplit lock function
The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the split lock function
is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotat-
ing the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The
split lock function is ON by default, but can be turned
OFF in set mode. (p. ??)
qWhile split frequency operation is ON, push and
hold [SPEECH/LOCK] for 1 sec. to activate the
split lock function.
• [LOCK] indicator lights.
wWhile pushing and holding [XFC], rotate the main
dial to change the transmit frequency.
• If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the
main dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.
