MICROPHONE PF KEYS

When using the optional MC-47 or MC-52DM microphone, you can customize the functions of the Microphone PF1 (CALL), PF2 (VFO), PF3 (MR), and PF4 (PF) keys. You can assign the following types of functions to these keys via Menu Nos. 51B ~ 51E:

RISE TIME OF CW

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. The default setting, 6 ms, is fine for slow to medium keying speed and normal weighting (dot/ dash ratio). The 4, 2 or 1 ms settings are good for faster keying speeds.

1Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 32.

2Press [+]/ [–]to select the desired rise time (default is 6 ms).

3Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit Menu mode.
