Figure 150: Setup Form – DSP Tab, Keyer Sub-Tab
1. Connect your paddles or keyer to the Key jack on the back panel (see page 8) and set the
Primary Connection to 5000.
2. In the Options section, check Iambic for Iambic mode, otherwise leave unchecked (e.g. for a
straight key). If the paddles seem reversed, check Rev. Paddle. The Break In option allows
the radio to start transmitting simply with detection of keyer input. Set Delay to the amount of
time between key up and when the radio will switch back to receive (a value of 70-75ms seems
to work best in most cases).
3. Select the settings for CW Pitch, Weight and Ramp as desired (refer to the Keyer Sub-Tab
section on page 106 for more detail).
4. If not using Break In, click MOX (16) on the Front Console and begin transmitting using your
paddles. If using Break In (8), simply begin transmitting to key the radio. If using Iambic
mode, adjust the speed with CW Speed (8) on the Front Console. If Disable Monitor is
unchecked, you should hear the side tone. Verify with the TX Meter (4) set to Fwd Pwr that
there is forward power.
5. You are now ready to begin a QSO. If a 50 ohm dummy load was connected, connect an
antenna in its place. Tune to the desired frequency using one of the methods outlined in the
Tuning Methods section above. Select either CWL or CWU (6) and proceed with the QSO.
