Speech function
The Speech function audibly announces the displayed
frequency and operating mode in the VFO, Memory or
Call channel modes, or caller station's call sign when
using the DR function.

D Using the Speech function

• When you push [ ](SPEECH), the Speech function
audibly announces the displayed frequency and op-
erating mode, or the call sign selected in the MAIN
band.
• When you receive a signal in the DV mode, the Speech
function audibly announces the caller station's call
sign.
• When you touch [RX>CS] for 1 second, and then re-
lease it, the Speech function audibly announces the
station call sign set in the "TO" field.
NOTE:
• When you receive a signal during an announce-
ment, the transceiver cancels the announcement,
and you can hear the received audio.
• If a call is received during an announcement in the
DV mode, the received audio will be muted. If you
are recording the audio, no audio is recorded onto
the SD card. In a mode other than the DV mode,
the received audio will be recorded, even during an
announcement.
