599 / Eagle Users manual Release 1.009 CE – April 15, 2015
Part #74447
Printed in USA 35
8. Addendum A (Firmware Version 1.682)
This section identifies additional features and changes to features that are implemented in firmware
versions 1.682.
PWR (24)
This feature is augmented to permit customer selection of transmit power from 0 to 100 watts.
Values below 5 watts are not guaranteed to perform at exactly the power selected, and are not
recommended for use with AM.
Power Level 0 will allow the station operator to practice CW, without generating RF output.
SP-CW (10)
The function of this button (SP-CW) is determined by which mode is selected on the transceiver.
For CW mode, an additional adjustment item was added in firmware version 1.682.
CW QSK Delay. Noted with text “dELAY”.
The functions adjustable in the SP-CW ring now includes the following:
SP = Keyer Speed for the internal keyer mode Present in 1.649
dit SP = Weighting Present in 1.649
Stl = Sidetone Level (also adjusts the beep tone level) Present in 1.649
StF = Sidetone Frequency Present in 1.649
dELAY = CW QSK Delay New in 1.682
CW QSK DELAY allows slowing down or partially defeating the full break-in CW capability of
the Eagle.
Available settings: 0 to 100%
A higher value represents more transmit/receive delay between individual transmitted CW
characters.
A delay of 0% is full break-in CW. Only limited by the rise/fall time of the CW character and the
17ms built in CW T/R hold off time.
A delay of 1% adds approximately 15-18ms recovery time before receive audio is restored.
A delay of 100% is approximately a 2.5 second recovery time before receive audio is restored.
Please note that this control is not used for “hanging” the transmitter for keying an external linear
amplifier. An external T/R Delay function is not available in the Eagle. However, it can be
implemented using a delay circuit connected to pin 8 of the external key line of the ACC1
connector on the rear panel of the Eagle.
