Effects
Boosts the high frequency component. This is
High Boost 1 (HB1) effective for audio sound that contains a low
frequency component.
Boosts the high frequency component. The low
High Boost 2 (HB2) frequency attenuation level for this option is half
of that of the HB1 option.
This option attenuates frequency components
Formant Pass (FP) that is outside the audio bandwidth so that the
audio can be heard more clearly.
Boosts the low frequency component. This is
Bass Boost 1 (BB1) effective for audio sound that contains a high
frequency component.
Boosts the low frequency component. The low
Bass Boost 2 (BB2)
frequency is further boosted compared to BB1.
Applies a 3 dB boost to the frequency range of
600 Hz or higher. This is suited for
Conventional (C)
communication that attenuates gradually as it
approaches the low frequency range.
User 1 (U1) Frequency characteristics can be adjusted
according to the user' preferences and stored in
User 2 (U2)
the options between User 1 and User 3. The flat
frequency characteristic is selected in the
User 3 (U3)
default setting.
3 Press and hold F [TX EQ] or press [ESC] to end the

5 Press F5 [–]/ F6 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control
to adjust the level of each frequency band.
• Touching a point on the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen
selects the corresponding band and changes the frequency
to the selected level.
An alternative way is to touch a rough point followed by fine-
tuning in steps 3 and 4.
• Pressing and holding F2 [(RESET)] resets all the frequency
levels to the default setting.
6 Press and hold F [TX EQ] or press [ESC] to end the
process.
