Radio Operation
MICOM-H Owner’s Guide 14
To Transmit:
To transmit, press and hold down the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button on the side of the
handset and speak slowly and clearly. This method of transmission is used regardless
of the type of transmission (voice, data or Morse), and regardless of whether you are
in Channel, Frequency or Scan mode.
The Tx LED will remain lit until the PTT button is released to indicate that you are
transmitting.
When you press the PTT button, the RF power and Tx bar are displayed.
To Receive:
The default radio mode is Receive mode.
You can program the radio to display an Rx bar similar to the Tx bar, see “Receive
Level” (page 44).
PTT Types
The radio can receive and transmit four different types of PTT:
Data PTT, Voice PTT, CW PTT or MIC PTT.
The radio automatically identifies the transmitted PTT type according to the type of
device connected to the accessory port, and identifies MIC if a microphone is
connected to the front panel.
Note
Before transmitting, ensure that the RF output of the radio is
connected to a tuned antenna or to a dummy load.
