16.3 USING THE BUILT-IN KEYER
Maestro has a built-in iambic keyer that can be used either as iambic “A” or iambic “B”. Controls for
the keyer are found on the Phone/CW tab of the Maestro Main Menu. See section 30.8, Phone/CW
Tab for details about these controls.
The keyer speed can be set between 5 and 100 WPM using the Speed control (inner knob) on the
Transmitter multi-function control. The IAMBIC selector must be enabled to use the built-in keyer.
The Sidetone control will increase or decrease the sidetone volume in the speakers and headphones.
Note that the sidetone button to the left of the slider should be illuminated to enable sidetone
output.
16.4 HOW TO OPERATE QRQ (HIGH SPEED) CW WITH QSK
All FLEX-6000 radios are capable of full QSK operation. To achieve the full benefit of QSK, the Delay
control on the CW TX Menu must be set to zero, allowing the transmit/receive switching to occur
immediately upon release of the key. In QSK mode the FLEX-6000s use a very fast reed relay for CW
T/R switching, but at higher CW speeds (above 30 WPM) better inter-element receiving results are
obtained by using two antennas, one for transmitting and another for receiving. Refer to section
22.3, Antenna Options for PIN Diode QSK Operation for information on how to configure separate
transmit and receive antennas. Full break QRQ is available only in the FLEX-6600/M and FLEX-6700
models.
