lation mode has to correspond to the one of your correspondent.
Amplitude modulation/AM: is for communications in areas where
there are obstacles and over medium distances.

field.
PA (Public Address)

An external sound loudspeaker can be connected on the PRESI-
DENT JFK II A+ ASC by a jack located on the rear panel PA.SP (D).
A long press allows alternate between Public Address and radio
mode. In PA mode, «PA» appears on the display; the message sent
in the microphone will be transferred to the external loudspeaker
and amplified. Keep the microphone at a sufficient distance from

10) ROGER ~ M2
ROGER
(short press)
The icon « » appears on the display when the function is active. The
ROGER BEEP sounds when the PTT (17) switch of the microphone is
released in order to let your correspondent speak. Historically as radio
is a «simplex» communication mode, it is not possible to speak and
to listen at the same time (as it is the case with a telephone). Once
someone had finished talking, he said "Roger" in order to prevent
his correspondent that it was his turn to talk. The word "Roger" has
been replaced by a significant beep. There comes "Roger beep"
from.
Note: the ROGER BEEP also sounds in the loudspeaker if the BEEP
function is active. If the BEEP function is not active, only the cor-
respondent can hear the ROGER BEEP.
