5 COMMUNICATING AIDS Encoding/Decoding Morse Code Below are the steps to decode the RX signals of CW and display them as character strings on the screen. Details of the transmitted CW signals are also displayed as character strings. Displaying the CW Communication Screen 1 Set to the CW mode. 2 Press F3 [DECODE] to display the CW communication screen. • If F3 [DECODE] is not displayed in the key guide, press [ESC] to exit the configuration screen and bandscope.
