You may also generate any prosign by typing the PROSIGN character (default \)
and then the two characters to be combined.
In addition, the MORSE command allows you to define several special code
combinations. You can specify which key you type on the keyboard, the code
transmitted when you type that key, and the character(s) displayed on your termi-
nal when that code is received. (See the MORSE command for details.)
+ Note: If the CWPTT command is OFF, the KAM’98 front panel will not indicate
that you have entered the transmit mode, or that you have returned to receive. If
it is ON, the bargraph will go dark and the transmit LED will light up when you
are transmitting.
Receiving CW
During reception, you may find that the station transmitting is sending at a much
slower rate than you are set to transmit. You can lock your transmit speed to the
speed of the received station with the <Ctrl+C>L directive. This sets your trans
-
mit speed approximately equal to the speed of the station. You may then send the
<Ctrl+C>U directive from the keyboard to unlock the KAM’98, allowing it to
again track the speed of the other station.
To exit the CW mode and return to the Command mode, type <Ctrl+C>X.
CW Directives
While your KAM’98 is in CW mode, several directives are possible. They func
-
tion as follows:
<Ctrl+C>E Return to receive mode when
transmit buffer is empty
