■ Multiple-Button Functions Function Name Buttons Description Decrement [CH 2]+ [CH 3] Function [CH 1]+ [CH 2] Hand-key [CH 1]+ [CH 3] Inquiry [CH 3]+ [CH 4] Kill Playback Any two (in progress) buttons Reset [CH 1]+ Note: [CH 2]+ Press all keys [CH 3]+ simultaneously. [CH 4] A transceiver Full Reset {page 63} also resets the keyer speed to 20 wpm. Reverse [CH 1]+ [CH 4] Tune [CH 2]+ [CH 4] The keyer acknowledges with "D", then decrements the serial number. The keyer acknowledges with "F", then waits for paddle entry of the desired command. The keyer acknowledges with "H", then enters hand-key mode until another button closure occurs. The keyer acknowledges with "?", then waits for paddle entry of the desired option. The keyer immediately halts and stops transmitting the message. No "dit" is transmitted. The keyer speed is reset to 20 wpm at the current knob position, the function-entry speed is defaulted to follow the KEY SPEED control setting, then the keyer acknowledges with "OK". The keyer acknowledges with "RV", then reverses the paddles. The keyer acknowledges with "X", then keys the output continuously until a paddle closure occurs. Note: If the buttons are pressed for an extended time, or if an incorrect command is input, a multi-dit error tone will be sent. 6 COMMUNICATING ■ Emulation Options This parameter allows the keyer timing to mimic that of other keyers, making the "feel" more comfortable for operators used to different timing parameters. The default is VØ. To check or change the emulation, you must briefly use the Inquiry or Function mode. You will learn more about these modes beginning on page 35. To check Emulation option: 1 Press [CH 3]+[CH 4]. • The keyer will send "?". 2 Send a "V". • The keyer will send the current emulation (e.g. VØ). To change Emulation option: 1 Press [CH 1]+[CH 2]. • The keyer will send "F". 2 Send a "Vd" where d represents the emulation number (see table) that you desire.
