External Keyer
1. Connect your keyer to the Key jack on the front panel (see page 3) and set the Primary
Connection to Radio (see Figure 142 above)
2. In the Options section, leave Iambic unchecked. If your external keyer does not seem to be
keying, try checking Rev. Paddle. If using an external keyer with a side tone, check the
Disable Monitor check box to avoid hearing the side tone from the internal keyer. The Break
In option allows the radio to start transmitting simply with detection of keyer input. Set Delay
to the amount of time between key up and when the radio will switch back to receive.
3. If using the side tone from the internal keyer, select the settings for CW Pitch. Select the
settings for Weight and Ramp as desired (refer to the Keyer Sub-Tab section on page 87 for
more detail).
4. If not using Break In, click MOX (16) on the Front Console and begin transmitting using your
external keyer. If using Break In, simply begin transmitting to key the radio If Disable
Monitor is unchecked, you should hear the side tone. Verify with the TX Meter (4) set to Fwd
Pwr that there is forward power.
5. You are now ready to begin a QSO. If a 50 ohm dummy load was connected, connect an
antenna in its place. Tune to the desired frequency using one of the methods outlined in the
Tuning Methods section above. Select either CWL or CWU (6) and proceed with the QSO.
