1. Press the [ FM ] mode key to select the FM operating
mode.
Be sure that the FM mode is being selected on the
proper VFO; check the status of the [ A ] and [ B ]
switches above the mode selection keys before
making your mode selection.
The LED (Red or Orange) corresponding to the
VFO on which you selected FM (Main or Sub,
respectively), will light up.
2. Rotate the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob (in the case of
Main (VFO-A) operation) to select the desired oper-
ating frequency. If using the optional MD-200A8X
Desk Microphone, pressing the [ UP ] or [ DOWN ] but-
ton will cause frequency change in 5 kHz steps.
3. Press the microphone's PTT switch (or press the front
panel [ MOX ] switch) to transmit. Speak into the mi-
crophone in a normal voice level. Release the PTT or
[ MOX ] switch to return to receive.
4. Adjustment of the microphone gain may be accom-
plished in two ways. At the factory, a default level
has been programmed that should be satisfactory for
most situations. However, using Menu item "MODE-
FM 066 FM MIC GAIN," you may set a different
fixed value, or choose the "MCVR" option, which
then lets you use the front panel [ MIC ] control to set
the microphone gain in the FM mode. The microphone
gain should be set such that deflection of the ALC
meter goes all the way to the right side of the ALC
meter scale.
