the normal amateur bands since they will not allow transmitting out of band. You can
turn the RF gain on your receiver down so you will not hear other stations that may be
on the frequency you've chosen. By adjusting the KAM CWTONE command to the
frequency of your sidetone, your KAM will copy what you send, and display it on your
terminal screen, just by entering the CW Mode. After a little practice, you'll find your
CW sending skills improving.
You can also use the KAM to send CW to you by storing a file on the disk, and then
connecting the KAM green wire (CW KEY) to your key input of your HF transceiver.
Again, set the transceiver so that it will generate sidetone, but will not transmit. Place
the KAM in the CW Mode, put it in transmit (Ctrl-C T) and then upload the file from
your disk to the KAM.
Summary of CW Directives
Ctrl-C E Return to receive when transmit buffer empty
Ctrl-C L Lock transmit and receive speed to current receive speed

Ctrl-Cn Set transmit and receive speed to setting from chart (above)
The above description is specific to CW operation of the KAM. In addition, you should
be aware of other settings within your TNC which will affect the overall operation of
your computer or terminal and the KAM. In particular, review the Asynchronous
Commands described in the first section of this manual. For instance, if you have
XFLOW ON, then you may use the flow control characters (START and STOP) to
control whether or not the KAM will send data to your terminal, or simply store the
information in its internal RAM memory.
