Side Tone Level (Default: 50%) Select the CW sidetone output level. • 0 to 100% in 1% steps can be selected. 2. Side Tone L-Limit (Default: ON) Set the CW sidetone level limit. When the [AF] control is rotated above a specified level, the CW sidetone does not increase. • ON : CW sidetone level is limited. • OFF : CW sidetone level is not limited. 3. Keyer Repeat Time (Default: 2s) When sending CW using the repeat timer, set the time between transmission. • 1 to 60 seconds in 1 second steps can be selected. 4. Message Display (Default: Normal) When you are in the "SEND" screen (Keyer Send), channel numbers are displayed above the function keys. However, you can display the first three characters of the keyer message instead of the channel number. Select whether to display the channel number or the first three characters of the keyer. • Normal : Displays the channel number. • Message : D isplays the first three characters of the keyer message.
