VoiCe aCtiVated Control (VoX)
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver
hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must
use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in
microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend
you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a
microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
