9 COMMUNICATING AIDS

SPEECH PROCESSOR

The Speech Processor levels out large fluctuations in

your voice while you speak. When using SSB, FM, or

AM mode, this leveling action effectively raises the

average transmit output power, resulting in a more

understandable signal. The amount of voice

compression is fully adjustable. You will notice that

using the Speech Processor makes it easier to be

heard by distant stations.

1 Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode.

2 Press [PROC/ LEVEL] to switch the Speech

Processor ON.

• The PROC LED lights.

3 Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to enter the

Speech Processor input level adjustment mode.

4 As you speak into the microphone, turn the

MULTI/ CH control so that the compression

meter indicates that the compression level is

around 10 dB while you speak.

• Using higher compression will not improve your

signal clarity or apparent signal strength.

Excessively compressed signals are more

difficult to understand due to distortion and are

less pleasant to hear than signals with less

compression.

5 Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to exit the Speech

Processor input level adjustment.

6 Press [MIC/ CAR] to enter the Speech processor

output level Adjustment.

• As you speak into the microphone, turn the

MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter

reflects according to your voice level but does

not exceed the ALC limit. Press [MIC/ CAR] to

exit when you finish the adjustment.

XIT (TRANSMIT INCREMENTAL TUNING)

Similar to RIT, XIT provides the ability to change your

transmit frequency by ±20.00 kHz in steps of 10 Hz

without changing your receive frequency. If the Fine

Tuning function is ON, the step size is 1 Hz.

1 Press [XIT/ ALT].

• “XIT” and the XIT offset appear.

2 If required, press [CLEAR] to reset the XIT offset

to 0.

3 Turn the RIT/ SUB control to change your transmit

frequency.

4 To turn XIT OFF, press [XIT/ ALT].

• The transmit frequency is returned to the

frequency that was selected prior to step 1.

Note:

◆

XIT works only on the main transceiver.

◆

The frequency shift set by the RIT/ SUB control is also used by

the RIT function. Therefore, changing or clearing the XIT offset

also affects the RIT offset.

◆

When the XIT frequency exceeds the limit of available

transmission frequency, the transceiver automatically stops

transmitting.
