CHANGING LOCKED-WEIGHT

Switching Auto Weighting OFF locks the dash/dot weighting to 3:1. It is also possible to change this default locked-weight. Use Menu No. 49 to select from

16 ratios, in the range from 2.5:1 to 4.0:1. “2.7”, visible while making selections, for example, designates 2.7:1.

Note: When the Auto Weighting or Bug Key function is ON, the selection made in Menu No. 49 is invalid.

BUG KEY FUNCTION

The built-in electronic keyer also can be used as a semi- automatic key. Semi-automatic keys are also known as “Bugs”. When this function is ON, dots are generated in the normal manner by the electronic keyer. Dashes, however, are manually generated by the operator by holding the keyer paddle closed for the appropriate length of time for each dash.

To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 22, and select ON. The default is OFF.

Note: When the Bug Key function is ON, CW Message Memory (see below) cannot be used.

CW MESSAGE MEMORY

This transceiver has three memory channels for storing CW messages. Each memory channel can store approximately 50 characters. These memory channels are ideal for storing contest exchanges that you want to send repeatedly. Stored messages can be played back to check message content or for transmitting.

The electronic keyer has a function that allows you to interrupt playback and manually inject your own keying. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 28, and select ON. The default is OFF.

The electronic keyer also can repeatedly play back the message that you stored. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 23 and select ON. The default is OFF.

For repetitive message playback, you can change the interval between each series of messages. Use Menu No. 24, and select the time in the range of 0 to 60 seconds.

Note:

◆This function cannot be used when the Bug Key function is ON.

◆Operating the keyer paddle with Menu No. 28 OFF cancels message playback. Even If message playback does not stop because of your keying start timing, you can cancel playback by pressing [CLR].
