FSK, AFSK, PSK connections
The transceiver has a mode key for RTTY and PSK. You can use a PC and an application software to operate
RTTY and PSK using a USB cable. However, if you want to operate AFSK or other digital modes, you can use
the ACC socket on the rear panel through an interface unit. See the interface circuit diagram below for details.

ones above it. If you try to enter a lower frequency
than the edge above, the lower frequency edge will be
cleared when you push [ENT].
Inserting a Band Edge
After you edit the preset band edges, follow the steps
below to insert a band edge.
1. Display the “User Band Edge” screen.
2. Touch the band edge you want to insert a new
band edge above for 1 second.
(Example: 1: 3.500.000–3.999.999 MHz)
LThe new band edge will be inserted above the
selected band edge.
3. Touch “Insert.”
4. Enter the lower and upper band edge frequency.
(Example: 18.000.000 –19.999.999 MHz)
LSee Editing a Band Edge on the previous page for
details on entering the band edge frequencies.
5. Touch [ENT] to save the entered band edge
frequencies.
• The entered band edge is saved and returns to the
previous screen.

IP Plus function
The IP Plus function improves the Intermodulation
Distortion (IMD) quality by optimizing the direct
sampling system performance.
This function optimizes the Analog/Digital Converter
(ADC) against distortion when you receive a strong
input signal. It also improves the Third-order Intercept
Point (IP3) while minimizing the reduction of the
receiver sensitivity.
Touch [IP+] on the side menu to turn the IP Plus
function ON or OFF.
ON: Prioritizes the IP quality.
OFF: Prioritizes the receive sensitivity.

The VOX (Voice-Operated Transmission) function
switches between transmit and receive with your
voice. This function enables hands-free operation.
DAdjusting the VOX function
Before using the VOX function, adjust the following
items.
• VOX GAIN
• ANTI VOX
• DELAY
• VOICE DELAY
1. Touch [VOX] for 1 second.
• Opens the VOX menu.
2. Touch the adjusting item.
(Example: ANTI VOX)
3. Rotate

LAdjust to the point where the transceiver does not
switch to transmit due to the sound from the speaker
or other devices.
LTouching VOICE DELAY selects “SHORT,” “MID,”
“LONG” or “OFF.”
DTurning ON the VOX function
1. Set the operating mode to SSB, AM or FM.
2. Touch [VOX] to turn ON the VOX function.
• “VOX” is displayed while the VOX function is ON.
VOX GAIN (Default: 50%)
Adjust the transmit/receive switching threshold level
to between 0% and 100% for VOX operation. Higher
values make the VOX function more sensitive to your
voice.
ANTI VOX (Default: 50%)
Adjust the ANTI VOX level to between 0% and 100%
to prevent unwanted VOX activation from the speaker
or other sounds. Higher values make the VOX
function less sensitive.
DELAY (Default: 0.2s)
Adjust the DELAY to between 0 and 2.0 seconds, for
a convenient interval for normal pauses in speech
before returning to receive.
VOICE DELAY (Default: OFF)
Set the VOICE DELAY to prevent picking up your
voice when switching to transmit.
Select “SHORT,” “MID,” “LONG” or OFF.
