15 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES
VS-3 VOICE SYNTHESIZER (OPTIONAL)
Install the optional VS-3 unit to use this function.
Each time you change the transceiver mode such
as VFO A/B or Memory Recall, the transceiver
automatically announces the new mode. In
addition, you can program the front panel [PF] key
so that pressing it makes the transceiver announce
the displayed information. If you have the optional
MC-47 microphone, you can program one of the
Mic [PF] keys for this function as well.
For an explanation on how to install the VS-3 unit,
refer to “INSTALLING OPTIONS” {page 97}.
The table below indicates what the transceiver
automatically announces when it changes the settings.

For the [PF] key, the transceiver will announce
different information, depending on whether VOICE1
or VOICE2 is selected.
VOICE1:
•
VFO or memory channel frequencies are
announced beginning with the 10 MHz digit and
continuing through to the 10 Hz digit. If the
memory channel has no data stored, “open” is
announced. For the MHz decimal point, “point” is
announced. For the kHz decimal point, a short
pause (200 ms) is made. A 200 ms pause is also
made between the channel number and the
frequency.
•
Menu numbers and their settings are announced
with a short pause (200 ms) between the menu
number and the setting.
Note: If operating a key or a control changes the contents of the
display while an announcement is in progress, the announcement is
interrupted.
VOICE2:
•
The S-meter readings at the time you pressed the
key, are announced, for example, “S5” or “20 dB”.
The table below shows the available announcements
when the [PF] (VOICE2) is pressed.
