The RF speech compressor increases the average RF
output power, improving signal strength and readability
in SSB and AM modes.
➀ Push [SSB] or [AM/FM] to select SSB or AM mode.
➁ While menu set 1 is selected, push [F3](CMP) to
turn the speech compressor ON.
•“COMP” appears when the function is ON.
➂ Set the [MIC GAIN] to the 9 to 12 o’clock position.
➃ While speaking into the microphone, adjust [MIC
GAIN] so that the ALC meter reads within the ALC
zone whether you speak softly or loudly.
➄ Use the monitor function (see previous page) to
check that any distortion to your transmitted audio
is at a minimum.
