(33) CWX Form
Figure 135: Standard CWX Form
The CWX form is designed to allow you to control automatic Morse code transmission and to send code
from your computer keyboard. Pressing the
CWX
button on the main console menu opens this form.
The radio must be in either
CWL
or
CWU
mode for transmission to take place.
Standard CWX Controls
Red Indicator
: The small red indicator shows when the radio is transmitting.
Yellow Indicator
: The yellow indicator shows when the key is being ‘pressed’ by the program.
Key:
Clicking this button will cause the radio to start transmitting a steady carrier for up to one
minute. Clicking
Key
again will stop the steady sending.
Stop (ESC):
Clicking this button or pressing the
Esc
key on your keyboard will terminate most
functions and prepare the program to receive new orders or allow the iambic paddle to be used.
Notes:
Clicking this button will cause a small page of useful notes to be displayed. You can
leave the notes up on the screen while you continue to work.
Speed WPM:
This control lets you set the speed of the Morse code being sent. The speed is
computed by the standard PARIS method. The softness of the edges may be set by the
RAMP
control on the
Setup Form - DSP Tab, Keyer Sub-Tab
. The weighting is always 50% for the
memory/keyboard keyer.
Note:
This setting is separate from the control on the front console.
Repeat Delay:
This control specifies the amount of time that the keyer will wait when a special
pause character is encountered.
Drop Delay:
This control specifies the amount of time that the semi-break in keying will wait
before dropping the transmitter when there is no keying occurring.
