TRANSMITTER OPERATION

CW TRANSMISSION

This adjustment also controls the BFO offset (actual pitch of your transmitted signal relative to your current receive frequency). To adjust the CW sidetone pitch:

ŸPress and hold in the [FUNC] key for one second to enter the Menu mode.

ŸRotate the SELECT knob to Menu Mode No-027[CW PITCH].

ŸRotate the DIAL to select a new pitch tone/BFO offset. The available offset range is 400 ~ 800 Hz (default value is “700 Hz”).

ŸWhen done, press and hold in the [FUNC] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

9.The FT-857also has a “CW SPOT” feature, utilizing the sidetone. Because the sidetone is a representation of the actual pitch of your transmitted signal, it may be used for zeroing in on another station. To activate the CW SPOT tone, just press and hold in the [HOME] key for one second while in the CW mode.

Pressing the [A](SPOT) key while in Multi Function Row “j” [SPOT, BK, KYR] will also activate the CW SPOT tone.
