Setting Vox Functions; To Enable / Disable Vox Mode - Midland FG-2 Owner's Manual

To get the most use from the "VOX" feature you must first determine what sensitivity
level is needed to activate the "VOX" control. Sensitivity is how loud you have to talk
to activate the "VOX" circuit. The "VOX" has three levels of sensitivity that can be
adjusted. The 1 option you can talk in a normal voice with no background noise to
activate the "VOX" circuit. The option 2 will require more voice level to activate the
"VOX" circuit. This is useful in slightly noisier areas that might activate the "VOX"
without talking. The option 3 will require the most voice level to activate the "VOX"
circuit. This will be useful in very noisy areas. The next adjustment is the delay. This
is a function of the "VOX" that keeps the radio in transmit mode after you stop talking.
A delay that is set to short will cause the "VOX" circuit to stop between some words.
The delay is adjustable to three levels. Level 1 will give about one half second of
delay, level three will give you about one and one half seconds of delay. By activating
the "VOX" you only have to talk into the front of the radio or use a headset to make the
radio transmit. The PTT (push to talk) button is not functional in "VOX" mode. It is
recommended to use a headset when using the "VOX" feature.
NOTE: It is recommended to disable the Roger Beep when VOX is in use. See page 8
for instructions.
