20.5 RECOMMENDED AUDIO ADJUSTMENT STEPS FOR PHONE MODES
Use of a second receiver to monitor your transmitted audio in real time is the preferred method for
making the adjustments listed below. Otherwise, use the Quick Record and Playback procedure
described above for monitoring your transmitted audio and making the following adjustments.
• Select the desired microphone input from the drop-down menu in the P/CW panel.
• Select the desired transmit filter width on the Setup/Voice (PHNE) panel.
• Turn the speech processor off by pressing the PROC button in the P/CW panel so that it is
not highlighted.
• Adjust the TX Equalizer to compensate for the microphone and operating conditions. The
default setting is a good starting point for most microphones. The TX EQ is located after the
processor in the signal chain, so it should typically be adjusted prior to engaging the
processor. Minor adjustments can be done after engaging the processor, but care is needed
to avoid excessive peaks.
• Speak into the microphone at the loudest voice level you would normally use.
• Adjust the microphone gain control so that the peak indicator hovers near 0 VU on the Level
meter. Most microphones will require the +20 dB gain preamp to be enabled on the Radio
Setup / Phone panel.
• Turn on the speech processor with the PROC button. The adjacent slider sets the
Compression setting. In most cases use the NORM (normal) setting. Selecting DX and DX+
adds additional compression without distorting the audio.
• Readjust the transmit equalizer to optimize the audio for your voice characteristics, the
desired operating style and microphone response once PROC is enabled.
• Enable the DEXP, setting it for your operating position’s ambient background noise. Ideally
any device that generates background noise should be on so that the DEXP is optimally
configured.
• If VOX operation is desired, enable the VOX button and adjust VOX gain/delay for proper
operation.
The settings described above are included in MIC profiles. After the controls are adjusted, their
settings can be saved for future use by storing a MIC profile. See section 16.4 Saving and Deleting
Profiles.
