VOX (Automatic TX/RX Switching using Voice Control: SSB/AM/FM Modes)
Instead of using the microphone’s PTT switch or the front panel [MOX] switch to
activate the transmitter, the VOX (Voice Operated TX/RX Control) system provides
hands-free, automatic activation of the transmitter, based on voice input into the
microphone.
1. Press the [VOX] button to activate the VOX circuitry. The LED inside the [VOX]
button glows red.
2. Without pressing the PTT switch, speak into the microphone in a normal voice
level. When you start speaking, the transmitter should be activated automatically.
When you finish speaking, the transceiver should return to the receive mode (after
a short delay).
3. To cancel VOX and return to PTT operation, press the [VOX] button again. The
LED inside the [VOX] button will disappear, signifying that the VOX circuitry has
been turned off.

in a noisy environment. To adjust the VOX Gain:
