See the section of Chapter 4 titled
FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE SOUND
OF SSB TRANSMIT AUDIO AND THEIR
ADJUSTMENT for a description in more
detail how to most optimally adjust ORION
SSB transmit audio. This section of Chapter
4 also includes a chart with some suggested
settings to get you started.

(37) VOX

Used for turning VOX operation on and off
for transmit on voice modes. VOX trip, anti-
VOX, and VOX hang settings are adjusted
through the menu system. When the VOX
button is pressed, the annunciator "on" will
appear on the screen just below the button.
If no "on" annunciator is shown, VOX
operation is disabled.

(38) S-TONE

Sidetone volume for CW operation. Press
the S-TONE button. Directly under the
screen a value of 0 (off) to 100 will appear.
Use the MULTI knob to change the value.
Both the transmitted CW sidetone volume
and the volume from using the SPOT
function are affected by this setting.

(39) MIC

The MIC control is used for setting
microphone gain in SSB modes. Press the
MIC button, and then use the MULTI knob to
set the desired value. Some microphones,
like the Ten-Tec Studio One, will require
more gain as they have a lower than Ten-
Tec's standard model 706 communications
desk microphone.
To set the proper level, adjust mic gain
upward until the red ALC LED (located just
to the left of the S-meter) is flashing. You
may also employ the use of the monitor
function (see (18) MON) to properly adjust
the sound of transmitted audio.

(40) TUNE

The TUNE button, when pressed, will
transmit a CW carrier at approximately 20
watts output power to allow either the
internal automatic antenna tuner to tune (if
installed) or for user adjustment of an
external antenna tuner or linear amplifier.
It may be desirable to have keydown CW
carrier output at the power output level set
by using the PWR control (button 17). To do
