Operating the transceiver
2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 63
Using the microphone
The microphone is located at the bottom of your handset, just like a telephone handset.
When you talk into the microphone:
• hold the handset as you would a telephone handset
• hold down PTT
• speak clearly at your normal volume and rate
• use the word ‘over’ to indicate that you have finished speaking, then release PTT
(the transceiver also transmits a short beep when you release PTT)
• remember that your conversation can be monitored by anyone tuned to your transmit
frequency
If PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system stops transmission,
switches to receive and displays an error message on the front panel. This ensures that,
even if the PTT button is being held down accidentally (because, for example, you are
sitting on the handset), power consumption is minimised and the transceiver is ready to
receive calls.
You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts transmission, or switch this
feature off, by using the PTT Cutout Time entry in the Control List (see page 200,
Entries in the Control List).
