¥The transceiver switches automatically to transmit and mutes the receiver each time the key closes. After the key opens, the transceiver returns to receive mode after a delay.
The delay time is the length of time that the transceiver remains in transmit mode after the key is opened. This time should be set based on your keying speed and your personal preference.

◆The range and step size of the DELAY control differ depending on the operating mode selected.
◆Setting the delay time by computer overrides any setting of the DELAY control. The control then has no effect. To restore functionality to the DELAY control, turn the control. The newly selected setting becomes effective.

The rise time of a CW signal is the time for the RF output to rise to its maximum power after the key is closed. This time excludes the make delay that occurs after closing the key but before the RF output actually begins to increase. You can adjust the CW rise time for the
The default setting is fine for low to moderate keying speeds and normal weighting (dot/dash ratios). The 2 ms setting is good for higher CW speeds or when operating with unusual dot/dash ratios. The available rise time selections include 2, 4, 6, and 8 ms.
