3.2.2 Transmitting
When the radio is transmitting, microphone audio is digitized and then processed by the DSP and
sent to the Trident IC (see Figure 3-7 to Figure 3-10) via the SSI interface. The Trident IC processes
the SSI data for application to the voltage controlled oscillator as a modulation signal.
