Transmission (COM Band)
To transmit, press and
hold the PTT switch.
Speak into the micro-
phone area of the front
panel grille in a normal
voice level.
The " TX " icon, which
indicates that the FTA-
450L is in the transmit
mode, appears on the
display.
Your FTA-450L is sealed against water ingress, which includes waterproof seals around
the microphone and speaker enclosure. This requires that you focus your speech in the
direction of the microphone's location, so as to ensure sufficient voice input to the radio.
Refer to the illustration and observe the location of the internal microphone.
If you find it difficult to utilize the FTA-450L conveniently and safely while speaking
directly into the microphone, we recommend the use of the SSM-10A Speaker/Micro-
phone (option), or an aftermarket aviation headset with boom microphone.
