KEY FOR CW ±KEY²
For CW operation without using the built-in electronic
keyer, the plug from a electronic key, a straight key, a
external electronic keyer or a PC keyer can be connected.
The KEY jack accepts a 2-conductor (mono) plug with a
3.5 mm (1/8") diameter.
Shorting the center pin of the jack to its outer represents
“keydown”.
Depending on how you configure the menu, you can
connect a paddle to the
KEY
jack and use the internal
electronic keyer instead.
{page 5-19}
Note:
Refer to Chapter 5 "ASSISTING YOUR SMOOTH QSO" for the
details of the built-in electronic keyer.
{page 5-19}
KEYPAD ±KEYPAD²
You can connect a personalized (self-made) PF keypad to
the
KEYPAD
connector.
{page 16-7}
CONNECTION TO AUDIO DEVICES WITH OPTICAL
DIGITAL INPUT TERMINAL
With a commercially available optical digital cable an
audio device can be connected to the transceiver.
Note:
Connect the transceiver to the audio device using the commercially
available optical digital cable with the TOSLINK connector.
If the transceiver is connected to the audio device, the transceiver
may not work correctly depending on the operating environment of
your PC.
{page 18-11}
Turn the transceiver power (
) and audio device OFF, then
connect the transceiver to the audio device.
If you turn the transceiver power (
) ON while the audio signal
sourced from the transceiver is being recorded by the audio device,
the digital processing cannot be synchronized when you turn the
transceiver power (
) ON next time; hence, the audio device
cannot correctly record. Turn the transceiver power (
) after the
recording by the audio device has been stopped completely.
CONNECTION TO THE EXTERNAL DISPLAY UNIT
You can connect the transceiver to an external display
using the commercial available DVI cable. The ferrite
core is supplied with the transceiver (E-type only), and to
connect the transceiver with an external display, you must
attach the ferrite core to the DVI cable.
You can view the same contents using an external
display as those that are displayed on the main
screen.
{page 16-18}
Note:
Use an external display with 800x600 or 848x480 resolution.
METER
