If /PTT1 and /PTT2 (Push To Talk) inputs are inactive, the transceiver remains in receive mode.
In receive mode the headphone(s) outputs (if enabled) provide a mixed signal consisting of:
• Received signal from antenna,
• Intercom signal from intercom circuit one and two,
• Signal from auxiliary input.
In receive mode the speaker output (if enabled) provides a mixed signal consisting of:
• Received signal from antenna
• Signal from auxiliary input
The signal from the auxiliary input been muted under certain conditions (For details refer to "Intercom
Operation", page 109).
The signal from intercom can be attenuated, or muted, under certain conditions (For details refer to
"VOX & Speaker Operation", page 110).
3.4.2. Transmit Mode
If /PTT input is active (PTT=Push To Talk key is pressed) the transceiver switches to transmit mode.
Microphone(s) signals can modulate the transmitter.
• PTT 1 input activates transmission from microphone path 1
• PTT 2 input activates transmission from microphone path 2
• If BOTH MIKES are active / enabled in the configuration setup, each input (PTT 1 or 2)
activates the transmission from both microphone paths simultaneously.
The "TX" symbol in the left upper corner of the display indicates the device is in transmit mode.
