  • Patent number: 10491732
    Abstract: A transmitter modulates an input voice signal to transmit an RF signal. A receiver demodulates a received RF signal to output an output voice signal. A voice level comparator compares a level of an input voice signal obtained by collecting a voice by a microphone with a VOX sensitivity level. A transmission determination unit instructs the transmitter to transmit the input voice signal, when the level of the input voice signal is equal to or greater than the VOX sensitivity level, based on a comparison result by the voice level comparator. A VOX sensitivity level calculator calculates the VOX sensitivity level in a predetermined period until just before the receiver completes outputting the output voice signal, based on an ambient sound collected by the microphone.
