Function	Buttons	Description
Name
Decrement	[CH 2]+	The keyer
	[CH 3]	acknowledges with "D",

Function	[CH 1]+	The keyer
	[CH 2]	acknowledges with "F",
		then waits for paddle

		command.
Hand-key	[CH 1]+	The keyer
	[CH 3]	acknowledges with "H",
		then enters hand-key
		mode until another
		button closure occurs.
Inquiry	[CH 3]+	The keyer

Note: If the buttons are pressed for an extended time, or if an incorrect command is input, a multi-dit error tone will be sent.

■Emulation Options

This parameter allows the keyer timing to mimic that of other keyers, making the ÒfeelÓ more comfortable for operators used to different timing parameters.

The default is VØ.

To check or change the emulation, you must briefly use the Inquiry or Function mode. You will learn more about these modes beginning on page 35.

To check Emulation option:

1Press [CH 3]+[CH 4].

¥ The keyer will send Ò?Ó.

2Send a ÒVÓ.

¥The keyer will send the current emulation (e.g. VØ).

To change Emulation option: 1 Press [CH 1]+[CH 2].

¥The keyer will send ÒFÓ.

2Send a ÒVdÓ where d represents the emulation number (see table) that you desire.
