When an optional aviation headset is connected, the
PTT switch on the radio will activate the headset micro-
phone for transmission.
Note:
If you find it difficult to use the PTT switch of the ra-
dio, we recommend to use an aftermarket external PTT
switch. See also Page 89 for details.

VOX Operation
If you want to have both hands free, use a headset and
activate the VOX (voice-actuated transmit/receive
switching) system.
Notes:
The VOX system does not function when using just
the internal microphone; an external headset must be
used.
Do not activate the VOX system when connecting
the optional microphone SSM-10A.
To activate the VOX system, select "ON" on the
item "VOX" of the COMM SETUP menu in the SET-
UP mode.
