You can also change the interval playback time of the message. Access Menu No. 57 and select the time in the range of 0 to 60 seconds, in steps of 1 second. Note: Menu Nos. 56 and 57 settings are shared with the voice communication modes when the optional VGS-1 is installed. ■ Changing the CW Sidetone Volume Turning the AF control does not change the CW sidetone playback volume. To change the CW sidetone volume, access Menu No. 04 and select "oFF", or "1" to "9". The default is "5". ■ Insert Keying If you operate a CW keyer manually while playing back a recorded CW message, the transceiver stops playing back the message. However, during contests or regular QSOs, you may sometimes want to insert a different number or message at a certain point in the recorded message. In this case, first record the CW message as usual {page 34}, without the additional number or message you want to insert. Then, access Menu No. 33 and select "on". Now, if you operate a CW keyer while you play back a recorded message, the transceiver pauses the playback of the recorded message, instead of stopping it. When you finish sending the number or message with the keyer, the transceiver resumes playback of the message. FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CW If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to watch and listen to CW signals. It is fine just to monitor those CW signals but you have experienced that changing the mode from SSB to CW results in losing the target CW signal. This is because the frequency on the display always shows the true carrier frequency for all modes. If you want the transceiver to shift the reception frequency to trace the receiving CW signal when changing the mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW, switch this function ON. The transceiver shifts the reception frequency when changing the mode from SSB to CW, so you can still hear the target signal and instantly transmit the signal in CW without adjusting the frequency. 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 42. 2 Press [M.IN] to select "on". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. 35

In this case, first record the CW message as
usual {page 34}, without the additional number or
message you want to insert.
Then, access Menu
No. 33 and select “on”.
Now, if you operate a CW keyer while you play

the playback of the recorded message, instead

number or message with the keyer, the transceiver
resumes playback of the message.

If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would
sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to
watch and listen to CW signals.
It is fine just to

that changing the mode from SSB to CW results in

shifts the reception frequency when changing the
mode from SSB to CW, so you can still hear the target
signal and instantly transmit the signal in CW without
adjusting the frequency.
