After you touch the

SetTx

button, the

screen will change to look like Figure
62,  with  both  the  receive  frequency
and the transmit frequency displayed
in large bright green digits.

This  screen  shows  the  operation  of
CW  in  split-frequency  mode.  The  Tx
frequency (7.031MHz in this example)
and  the  Rx  frequency  (7.030MHz  in
this example) are both displayed. The

SetTx

button has been renamed

Join

.

If you no longer wish to operate in
split mode, touch the

Join

button.

Split frequency operation will be dis-
abled and you will be returned to a
screen similar to Figure 59.
