When the voice squelch control function is activated, the receiver checks received signals for voice components. If a received sig-nal includes voice components, and the tone of the voice components changes within 1 sec., search/scan pauses (or stops). If the received signal includes no voice components or the tone of the voice components does not change within 1 sec., search/scan resumes.VSC is OFF VSC is ON
New2001648MENU SCREEN OPERATIONNew2001■ SETTING menu itemsD AM antenna selection (AM ANTENNA)This setting is active only for the AM broadcast band, 0.495–1.620 MHz (differ according to version) reception.• EXT-DX : Use the antenna connected to the an-tenna connector, and then received sig-nals are bypass the RF filter.• EXT-LOCAL : Use the antenna connected to the an-tenna connector, and then received sig-nals are filtered by the RF filter. • BAR : Use the internal bar antenna for AM broadcast band reception. (default) The RF filter for EXT-LOCAL does not only reject the in-terference, but also reduce the receive sensitivity. Thus selecting EXT-LOCAL is effective when the desired signal is strong enough and some interference exist near the signal.D FM antenna selection (FM ANTENNA) This setting is active for all band, but it is mostly effective only for the FM broadcast band, 76.000–107.995 MHz (differ according to version) reception. Thus it may cause the inter-ference for other band’s that this setting is ON and when an earphone is connected.• EXT : Use the antenna connected to the an-tenna connector.
