If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you can configure the transceiver to change the operating mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW and then transmit in CW mode automatically when you operate the CW keyers.

The mode automatically changes from USB to CW and LSB to CWR, regardless of the setting for Menu No. 42 (Frequency correction for changing SSB to CW). Therefore, when the CW signal is received in SSB mode, you can operate the paddle or keyer to immediately communicate CW with another station.
