37.7.2 CW Transmit Control Panel

• ALC bar meter: This meter is an indication of the analog ALC hardware input levels provided

by external power amplifiers. If there is ALC being displayed, the external power amplifier is

notifying the exciter (FLEX-6000) to reduce the drive level.

NOTE: When operating on Phone mode, if hardware ALC is indicated, the default RF Power

and SWR meters will be momentarily hidden and the ALC meter displayed indicating a

positive ALC condition exists.

• Delay Slider: Moving Delay slider control the slider control to the right increases the time

delay in milliseconds (ms) between the end of a keying element and when the radio

transitions from transmit to receive. This effectively controls the QSK characteristics of the

radio, where a value of 0ms is full break. Increasing this value will allow different degrees of

QSK (semi break), such as listening between letters or words while sending.

• Speed slider: Moving the slider control to the right increases keyer’s word per minute (WPM)

setting. Moving the slider control to the left decreases keyer’s WPM setting.

• Sidetone Button: Enables or disables the CW Sidetone.

• Sidetone Slider: Adjusts the volume (or amplitude) of the CW note. Moving the slider control

to the right increases the volume. Moving the slider control to the left decreases the volume.

• Sidetone Pan Slider: Moving the Sidetone Pan Slider will adjust the sidetone from left to right

channel audio.

• Breakin button (ON by default): Clicking on this button will enable or turn on the transmitter

by a key or paddle closure rather than using PTT

• Iambic button (ON by default): Clicking on this button will enable the Iambic keyer. Disable

the Iambic keyer if using a straight key.

• Pitch increment / decrement control: Clicking on the < or > buttons will decrease or increase

the CW pitch frequency (tone) in 10 Hz increments
