 Full break-in operation

During full break-in operation, the transceiver auto-
matically switches to receive between keying dots 
and dashes so that the operator can hear activity on 
the channel when transmitting.

q

  Push 

MODE

 to select CW or CW-R mode.

  •  When CW mode is selected, push and hold

for 1 sec. to toggle between CW and CW-R modes.

w

  Set the full break-in function ON in the set mode.

q
