ADVICE:
You may disable the CW sidetone by pressing the
[
MONI
]
button. The “
” icon will turn off, con-
firming that the Monitor is now disengaged.
When you utilize your keyer paddle, the transmitter
will automatically be activated, and the CW charac-
ters (or a string of dots and dashes) will be transmit-
ted. When you release the keyer paddle contacts, trans-
mission will cease after a brief delay. The delay time is
user-programmable, per the discussion on page 93.
If you reduce power using the
[
RF PWR
]
knob, the
ALC meter reading will increase. This is normal and
does not indicate any problem whatsoever (because in-
creased ALC voltage is being used to lower the power).
