DESCRIPTION

DISABLED:
(normal mode), the VFO encoder
changes its resolution (speed of tuning) as a
function of how fast you turn the VFO knob.
ENABLED:
the encoder changes its resolution as a
function of mode. Rotating the VFO one turn
changes the frequency about 80 Hz in CW and 800
Hz in SSB.
1 Noise Reduction
Range 1 to 100. 1 is the lowest and 100 is the
highest. When NR is activated while adjusting this
value, you can hear the effect as you adjust. Use
lowest level necessary in order to minimize audio
distortion.
2 Pitch CW
Adjusts the frequency of the sidetone. When you
set this to your preferred frequency, the CW Offset
automatically adjusts to this frequency, assuring you
are always zero beat when listening to this tone.
Default is 720 Hz.
3 CW VOX
Controls the
external amplifier’s relay “hang time”
(delay before switching back to receive). Adjustable
in steps of 100 ms from 100 to 5 seconds.
When
disabled, the radio does not transmit when the
key is pushed.
4 CW Type
Simple = Straight Key; Auto = Built-in Keyer
