9 COMMUNICATING AIDS
While playing back the messages, you can
also adjust the keyer speed by pressing
[KEY/ DELAY] and turning the MULTI/ CH
control.
To interrupt transmission, press [CLR].
4 If you pressed [SEND] in step 2, press [SEND]
again to return to receive mode.
Changing the Inter-message Interval Time
For the message playback repeat, select Menu
No. 29A and set it ON. You can also change the
interval playback time of the message. Use
Menu No. 29B, and select the time in the range
of 0 to 60 seconds, in steps of 1 second.
Note: Menu Nos. 29A and 29B settings are shared with the
voice communication modes when the optional DRU-3A is
installed.
Changing the Sidetone Volume
Turning the MAIN AF or SUB AF control does not
change the CW sidetone playback volume. To
change the CW sidetone volume, access Menu
No. 13 and select OFF, or 1 to 9.
Insert Keying
If you operate a CW keyer manually while playing
back a recorded CW message, the transceiver
stops playing back the message. However, during
contests or regular QSOs, you may sometimes
want to insert a different number or message at a
certain point in the recorded message.
In this case, first record the CW message as usual
{page 43}, without the number or message you
want to insert. Then, access Menu No. 30 and
select ON.
Now if you operate a CW keyer while you play
back a recorded message, the transceiver pauses
the playback of the recorded message, instead of
stopping it. When you finish sending the number
or message with the keyer, the transceiver
resumes playback of the message.
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 CW signals. It is fine just to
monitor those CW signals but you have experienced
that changing the mode from SSB to CW results
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 receiving 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 receiving 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 turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 37.
2 Press [+] to select ON.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the
Menu mode.
CW REVERSE (RECEIVE)
This function pivots the BFO from the default position
(USB) to another position (LSB) in CW mode. It is
sometimes effective to remove the interfering signals
from the IF passband by pivoting the BFO.
1 Press [FUNC], [CW/ FSK/ REV].
“CWR” appears.
3 To return to normal operation, press [FUNC],
[CW/ FSK/ REV] again.
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 when you operate the CW
keyers.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 36.
2 Press [+] to select ON.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the
Menu mode.
Note: You must switch the CW break-in function ON to change the
mode and transmit in CW mode {page 42}.
