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] button so that pressing
[PF] makes the transceiver announce the displayed
information. If you have the optional MC-47
microphone, you can program one of the Mic [PF]
buttons for this function.
For an explanation on how to install the VS-3 unit, refer
to “INSTALLING OPTIONS” {page 57}.
The table below shows what the transceiver
automatically announces when it enters a new mode.

When you change the channel or menu number in
this mode, the transceiver announces the new
number.
2
When you enter a number using the numeric keys in
Entry mode or Memory Scroll mode, the transceiver
announces the entered number.
For the [PF] button, the transceiver will announce
different information depending on whether Voice 1 or
Voice 2 is selected.
Voice 1:
• 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 also is 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 button or a control changes the contents of the
display while an announcement is in progress, the announcement is
interrupted.
Voice 2:
• Peak readings for the S-meter are announced, for
example, “S5” or “20dB”.
Steps:

button or, if you use the optional MC-47 microphone,
one of the Mic [PF] buttons. For this method, refer
to “PROGRAM FUNCTION BUTTON” {page49}.
