Notes:
• The transceiver's
modulation circuit adjusts the
microphone's sensitivity for a
wide variety of voice levels.
• Do not speak too loudly when
transmitting. It does not make
your signal any stronger, and
might distort your transmission.
• Do not hold down PUSH TO
TALK when you are not talking.
(This is called dead keying.)
