[Icom] Icom 756 Pro II and which mic to use.

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 05:02:59 -0500

One of the previous posters got me wondering about VOX operation with the
Goldline and PRO II/PRO. Being a foot switch user for the last 10 or so
years I typically don't use VOX but I turned the VOX on and set the VOX GAIN
to 65%, ANTI-VOX to 10% and the VOX DELAY to 0.6s and it appears to work
fine speaking normally using the Goldline settings I use as mentioned below
although I realize the settings may be different per your voice
characteristics.
