Under Unfavorable conditions, CW communication is as reliable as communication in new digital modes. The transceiver incorporates a multi-functional electronic keyer. Refer to "ELECTRONIC KEYER" for further details. {page 5-19} ASSISTING YOUR SMOOTH QSO 5 CW BREAK-IN Break-in is a convenient function in CW mode that places the transceiver into transmit when the key contacts close and reverts the transceiver to receive when the key contacts open. Two break-in modes are available, i.e., full break-in and semi break-in modes.

OPERATION IN CW MODE
CW mode ensures reliable communication even if
the operating conditions are bad. Under Unfavorable
conditions, CW communication is as reliable as
communication in new digital modes.
The transceiver incorporates a multi-functional electronic
keyer. Refer to "ELECTRONIC KEYER" for further
details.

[CW/CW-R]
[SEND]
1
Select the desired band and frequency.
Selects the desired band and frequency.
2
Press
[CW/ CW-R]
to select CW mode.
3
Press
[SEND]
to transmit.
4
Manipulate the electronic keyer or paddle to send
Morse code, and rotate the
MONITOR
control to adjust
the sidetone volume, allowing you to monitor your CW
signal while transmitting. You can adjust the sidetone
pitch frequency.
5
Press
[SEND]
, after sending the Morse code, to finish.
The transceiver enters the receive mode.
Note:
The sidetone volume can be fixed.
{page 5-16}
CW BREAK-IN
Break-in is a convenient function in CW mode that places
the transceiver into transmit when the key contacts close
and reverts the transceiver to receive when the key
contacts open. Two break-in modes are available, i.e., full
break-in and semi break-in modes.
[CW/CW-R]
[FBK]
[DELAY]
[VOX/SEL]
FULL BREAK-IN
The transceiver enters the receive mode simultaneously
with the key released. The transceiver enters the receive
mode even during the very short time between a dot and
dash of Morse code. Therefore, for example, you will
know the band condition immediately if there is sudden
interference while transmitting.
1
Press
[CW/ CW-R]
to select CW mode.
2
Press
[FBK]
to enable the Full Break-in.
The "FBK" LED lights.
3
Manipulate the electronic keyer or paddle.
The transceiver alternates between transmission and
reception automatically between dots and dashes.
Note:
If you use a linear amplifier in combination with the transceiver, be
sure that the linear amplifier is capable of full break-in. If you do not
know whether the linear amplifier is capable of the function or if the
linear amplifier does not correspond to the function, operate the
transceiver in semi break-in mode.
Full Break-in and Semi Break-in cannot be used at the same time.
