About this manual

The DH8BQA BX-184 is an integrated voice keyer (CQ 'parrot') designed specifically for the Yaesu MH-31 handheld microphone. It replaces the original PCB with a new board containing all necessary components, including a pre-soldered ISD 1760 voice chip and microcontroller. The kit allows users to record and play back CQ messages directly from the microphone without adding external boxes or weight. This manual is written in Spanish.
