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. 48. 2 Press [M.IN] to select "on". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. AUTO CW TX IN SSB MODE If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you can configure the transceiver to change the operating mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW and then transmit in CW mode automatically when you operate the CW keyers. The mode automatically changes from USB to CW and LSB to CWR, regardless of the setting for Menu No. 42 (Frequency correction for changing SSB to CW). Therefore, when the CW signal is received in SSB mode, you can operate the paddle or keyer to immediately communicate CW with another station. 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 47. 2 Press [M.IN] to select "on". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. Note: You must switch the CW Break-in function ON to change the mode and transmit in CW mode {page 34}. MIC UP/ DWN KEY PADDLE MODE This function allows you to send CW messages without using an optional paddle {page 2}. The Mic [UP] key can be used as the dot paddle and the Mic [DWN] key can be used as the dash paddle. To activate Mic UP/ DWN key Paddle mode: 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 46. 2 Press [M.IN] to select "PA". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. • Press and hold Mic [DWN] to send dots or Mic [UP] to send dashes in CW mode. 4 To exit Mic UP/ DWN key Paddle mode, access Menu No. 46 and select "PF". COMMUNICATING AIDS 7 SWAP DOT AND DASH PADDLE POSITIONS This function reverses the position of the dot and dash paddle positions. As a default, the left paddle sends dots and the right paddle sends dashes. When this function is ON, the left paddle will send dashes and the right paddle will send dots. 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 45. 2 Press [M.IN] to select "on". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. • The left paddle now sends dashes and the right paddle now sends dots. To return to the normal paddle positions, access Menu No. 45 and select "oFF". 37

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.

Press
[MENU]
, then press
[Q-M.IN]

[Q-MR]
or
turn the
MULTI/CH
control to select Menu No. 48.

Press
[M.IN]
to select “on”.
3
Press
[MENU]
to exit Menu mode.
AUTO CW TX IN SSB MODE
If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you can
configure the transceiver to change the operating
mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW and then
transmit in CW mode automatically when you operate
the CW keyers.
The mode automatically changes from USB to CW
and LSB to CWR, regardless of the setting for Menu
No. 42 (Frequency correction for changing SSB to
CW). Therefore, when the CW signal is received in
SSB mode, you can operate the paddle or keyer to
immediately communicate CW with another station.

[M.IN]
to select “on”.
3
Press
[MENU]
to exit Menu mode.
Note:
You must switch the CW Break-in function ON to change
the mode and transmit in CW mode {page 34}.
MIC UP/ DWN KEY PADDLE MODE
This function allows you to send CW messages
without using an optional paddle {page 2}.
The Mic
[UP]
key can be used as the dot paddle and the Mic
[DWN]
key can be used as the dash paddle.
To activate Mic UP/ DWN key Paddle mode:
1

SWAP DOT AND DASH PADDLE POSITIONS
This function reverses the position of the dot and dash
paddle positions.
As a default, the left paddle sends
dots and the right paddle sends dashes.
When this
function is ON, the left paddle will send dashes and
the right paddle will send dots.
