409 COMMUNICATING AIDSSPEECH PROCESSORThe Speech Processor levels out large fluctuations inyour voice while you speak. When using SSB, FM, orAM mode, this leveling action effectively raises theaverage transmit output power, resulting in a moreunderstandable signal. The amount of voicecompression is fully adjustable. You will notice thatusing the Speech Processor makes it easier to beheard by distant stations.1 Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode.2 Press [PROC/ LEVEL] to switch the SpeechProcessor ON.• The PROC LED lights.3 Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to enter theSpeech Processor input level adjustment mode.4 As you speak into the microphone, turn theMULTI/ CH control so that the compressionmeter indicates that the compression level isaround 10 dB while you speak.• Using higher compression will not improve yoursignal clarity or apparent signal strength.Excessively compressed signals are moredifficult to understand due to distortion and areless pleasant to hear than signals with lesscompression.5 Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to exit the SpeechProcessor input level adjustment.6 Press [MIC/ CAR] to enter the Speech processoroutput level Adjustment.• As you speak into the microphone, turn theMULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meterreflects according to your voice level but doesnot exceed the ALC limit. Press [MIC/ CAR] toexit when you finish the adjustment.XIT (TRANSMIT INCREMENTAL TUNING)Similar to RIT, XIT provides the ability to change yourtransmit frequency by ±20.00 kHz in steps of 10 Hzwithout changing your receive frequency. If the FineTuning function is ON, the step size is 1 Hz.1 Press [XIT/ ALT].• “XIT” and the XIT offset appear.2 If required, press [CLEAR] to reset the XIT offsetto 0.3 Turn the RIT/ SUB control to change your transmitfrequency.4 To turn XIT OFF, press [XIT/ ALT].• The transmit frequency is returned to thefrequency that was selected prior to step 1.Note:uXIT works only on the main transceiver.uThe frequency shift set by the RIT/ SUB control is also used bythe RIT function. Therefore, changing or clearing the XIT offsetalso affects the RIT offset.uWhen the XIT frequency exceeds the limit of availabletransmission frequency, the transceiver automatically stopstransmitting.Transmit powerTransmit powerTimeTimeSpeechProcessorOFFSpeechProcessorON
