VOX (VOICE-OPERATED TRANSMIT)

VOX is a function that allows you to transmit automatically
while you are speaking into a microphone and to revert to
the receive state when you stop speaking. After speaking
into the microphone, pause momentarily to place the
transceiver in the receive state.
Data VOX enables to transmit the data sourced from the
connectors other than the MIC connector.

In SSB, FM and AM modes, you can automatically
transmit by simply speaking into the microphone.

Note:
◆ To transmit with VOX enabled, the audio from a microphone is
transmitted regardless of the audio source configuration.
◆ If the transceiver cannot automatically receive with VOX enabled,
reduce the VOX gain, increase the distance between the
microphone and speaker or reduce the receive audio volume. Use
headphones if the transceiver still cannot automatically receive.
