» SET > Function
RF/SQL Control (Default: RF+SQL)
Sets the
(outer) control operation.
• Auto: Functions as an RF gain control in the
SSB, CW and RTTY modes.
Functions as a squelch control in the AM,
FM, DV, and DD modes.
• SQL:
Functions as a squelch control in all modes.
Does not function as an RF gain control.
• RF+SQL: Functions not only as an RF gain control,
but also as a squelch control in all modes.

FM/DV Center Error (Default: ON)
Turns the FM/DV Center Error indication ON or OFF.
The MAIN/SUB band indicator shows the received
signal deviation.
When an off-center signal is received, the indicator
blinks green.
• OFF: Turns OFF the function.
• ON: Turns ON the function.
» SET > Function
Time-Out Timer (Default: OFF)
Sets the Time-out Timer to OFF, 3, 5, 10, 20, or
30 minutes to prevent an accidental prolonged
transmission.
LSelect “OFF” for no time limit.
PTT Lock (Default: OFF)
Turns the PTT Lock function ON or OFF.
To prevent accidental transmissions, this function
inhibits all transmissions.
• OFF: Turns OFF the function.
• ON: Inhibits all transmissions.
» SET > Function > SPLIT
Quick SPLIT (Default: ON)
Turns the Quick SPLIT function ON or OFF.
This function automatically turns ON the SPLIT
function, and set the frequency and mode that is not
displayed (VFO A or AFO B), according to the SPLIT
Offset setting.
• OFF: Turns OFF the function.
• ON: Turns ON the function.
SPLIT Offset (Default: 0.000 MHz)
Sets the SPLIT offset between -9.999 and +9.999 MHz.
The SPLIT offset is the difference between the receive
and transmit frequencies for the Quick SPLIT function.
» SET > Function > TX Delay
144M (Default: OFF)
430M (Default: OFF)
1200M (Default: OFF)
Sets the TX delay time on the 144, 430, or 1200 MHz
band.
L If an external equipment’s rise time is slower than that
of the IC-9700, a reected wave is produced and it may
damage the IC-9700 or the external device. To prevent
this, set the appropriate delay time so that no reected
wave, or timing damage occurs.
LSelect “OFF” for no rise speed.
