Electronic Keyer
This transceiver comes with a built-in electronic keyer that can be
used simply by connecting a paddle to the PADDLE jack on the
front panel. Depending on the settings, it can also be used as a
bug key (semi-auto electronic keyer).
A straight key can also be connected to the PADDLE jack.
Selecting the PADDLE Jack Behavior
Select the device to be connected to the PADDLE jack.
Configure the behavior in Menu [5-00] Paddle Jack
Configuration (Front)
Setting Value
Straight Key/ Paddle (default)/ Paddle (Bug Key
Mode)
Selecting the KEY Jack Behavior
For operation in the CW mode without using the built-in electronic
keyer, connect the plug of a straight key, bug key, external
electronic keyer or PC keyer to the “KEY” jack. The built-in
electronic keyer can also be used by connecting a paddle to the
“KEY” jack.
Select the device to be connected to the “KEY” jack on the rear
panel.
Configure in Menu [5-01]
Key Jack Configuration
(Rear)
Setting Value
Straight Key (default)/ Paddle/ Paddle (Bug Key
Mode)
Connect a PC keyer or an external electronic keyer with
a positive-polarity wire using a shield wire.
Behavior when Paddle (Bug Key Mode) is selected
While dots are combined according to the usual
keyer, dashes are keyed while the paddle is pressed.
The keying speed is variable, but the message
memory function does not work.
When both dot and dash are configured to ON at the
same time, priority is given to dash.
Operation Mode of the Electronic Keyer
2 operation modes of the built-in electronic keyer are available for
selection (A or B).
Configure in Menu [5-02]
Electronic Keyer
Squeeze Mode
Setting Value Mode A/ Mode B (default)
Mode A: When both paddles are open, code transmission ends
after the code elements (dot or dash) are transmitted. Both dot
and dash memory are not active.
Mode B: When both paddles are open, code transmission ends
after a dash (or dot) is transmitted following the dot (or dash)
that is currently being transmitted. Both dot and dash memory
are active.
Reversing Dot and Dash
It is possible to reverse dot and dash of the paddle without having
to rewire the electronic keyer. Reversing the position for operating
the paddle according to the operator’s preferences or dominant
hand helps to ease keying.
Configure in Menu [5-03] Dot and Dash Reversed
Keying
Setting Value Off (default)/ On
Dot and dash is reversed when this function is set to “On”.
This setting applies to both the mic paddle mode and
paddle that is connected to the PADDLE or KEY jack.
Mic Paddle Mode
The [UP] and [DOWN] keys of the microphone is used in place of
the paddle for keying.
Configure in Menu [5-04] Paddle (Microphone Up/
Down Keys)
Setting Value Off (default)/ On
When this is “On”, keying can be performed using the [UP]
and [DOWN] keys of the microphone.
Response will be slower in the mic paddle mode
compared to the normal paddle operation.
In the default setting, the [DOWN] key is assigned with
dot and the [UP] key with dash.
Adjusting the Keying Speed
The keying speed of the electronic keyer can be adjusted freely.
To ensure that CW is transmitted precisely, it is necessary to adjust
the keying speed according to the skill level of the user. Also, it is
recommended that the keying speed be as closely aligned as
possible with the CW speed of the target station.
Turn the [KEY] control to adjust the keying speed.
The keying speed can be adjusted within the range of 4 to 60
[wpm] (20 to 300 characters/minute).
Turning the [KEY] control to the right increases the keying
speed, while turning the control to the left slows it down.
The keying speed is displayed while the [KEY] control is
being operated.
After operating the [KEY] control, the TX output power
display shows the keying speed for a duration of 2 seconds.
Only dots are supported in the bug key mode.
