12) Dual watch function [DW/B]

This function allows you to monitor two channels for signals. Before activating this function
make sure that the squelch is set to ASQ, as described in paragraph 2).
First, select the first channel to be scanned with the rotary channel switch (8) or the Up/Down
keys (2) [q] and (3) [p]. Then, briefly press the dual watch key (12) [DW/B]. The dual watch
symbol DW flashes in the LCD window. Now, set the second channel to be monitored and
press the dual watch key (12) [DW /B] again. The dual watch symbol DW will light constant-
ly, which indicates that the dual watch function is activated.
Make sure that the second push on the dual watch key occurs within 23 seconds after the
first one. Otherwise, the DW function will be aborted, which will be indicated by the extinction
of the flashing dual watch symbol DW in the display.
13) VOX
The MX-8 is equipped with a VOX function that allows hands-free operation while driving.
Pressing the PTT key is not required when the VOX function is activated. Transmission starts
automatically, once a preset noise level is reached.
Prior to VOX activation, make sure that the manual squelch SQ is closed. For best results use
the automatic squelch ASQ.
To activated the VOX function, press the VOX key (14) [VOX]. The symbol VOX will appear in
the display.

14) External speaker jack

The MX-8 is equipped with a 3.5 mm jack socket (17) at the rear panel to connect an external
speaker of 4-8 ohm impedance. At 4 ohms the speaker load can be 4 watts (e.g. TEAM TS-500).
When the external speaker is connected, the internal speaker will be switched off.
15) Signal meter internal/external
The bar meter in the LCD window shows the signal strength of the transmitted and received
signals.
An external s-meter can be connected via the 2.5 mm jack socket (18) at the rear panel of
the MX-8. Please note that an external s-meter can be more accurate than the internal.
Please note that the external S-meter shows only the relative field strength of the incoming
signal.
