Ok thanks Steve, you are confirming what I thought was the case
for both the 2000 and 590. 73, Jim WA6EKS

No, there is really only one voice. What they call voice 1 and
voice 2
refers to whether it is speaking the frequency or the s meter.
In the 480 and 590, with the VGS-1 board, you can adjust the
speed of
playback, but I don't think you can do this in the 2000's VS-3.
The 590 will also let you choose between English and Japanese, so
there's your 2 voices.

the voices?
is that possible? Jim WA6EKS

Yes, the pound key on the number pad. The same key you would
press to
enter a frequency from the keypad. When you press it the
first time,
it is expecting you to enter a frequency. When you hit it the
second
time, it aborts the entry process and speaks the current
frequency.
If you set the pf key to the other voice setting, it will read
frequency, but you have no other way to get the s meter
reading. If
you set the pf key to read s meter, you have another option to
read
frequency (mentioned above).

Hi thanks great info. Voice 2 sounds like a good idea. When
you say press
t=
he enter key twice quickly do you mean the pound key on the
keypad or the
P=
F key? Also what would voice 1 do?
Thanks for the great info

Frank,
You can set menu 51 A to a bunch of choices, depending on what
you want
to=
do.
If you set to number 00 through 62, it will call that menu
item when=20
the pf key is pressed. The other choices are these:
63 Voice 1
64 Voice 2
65 RX MONI
66 DSP MONI
67 QUICK MR
68 QUICK M.IN
69 SPLIT
70 TF-SET
71 A/B
72 VFO/M
73 A=3DB
74 SCAN
75 M>VFO
76 M.IN
77 CW TUNE
78 CH1
79 CH2
80 CH3
81 FINE
82 CLR
83 CALL
84 CTRL
85 1MHz
86 ANT =BD
87 NB
88 N.R.
89 B.C.
90 A.N.
99 OFF
I keep mine set to either voice 2 or cw autotune. The voice 2
will=20
read s meter when the key is pressed. If you set this way, you
would=20
get frequency by pressing the enter key twice quickly.
I think page 77 in the manual covers all this junk. Have
fun,
enjoy=20
the radio.
