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