OFF.

VOX Gain
This item adjusts the VOX gain for the VOX func-
tion. Higher values make the VOX function more
sensitive to your voice.
While speaking into the microphone with your nor-
mal voice level, rotate the main dial to the point
where the transceiver is continuously transmitting.
Anti–VOX
This item adjusts the ANTI-VOX gain for the VOX
function. Higher values make the VOX function less
sensitive to receiver output audio from a speaker or
headphones.
During receive, rotate the main dial to the point
where the transceiver does not switch to transmit
due to received audio from the speaker.
VOX Delay
Set the VOX delay for a convenient interval before
returning to receive within 0.0 to 2.0 sec. range.
VOX Voice Delay
Set the VOX voice delay to prevent clipping of the
first few syllables of a transmission when switching
to transmit.
OFF, Short, Mid and Long settings are available.
