ETTING
During semi-break-in (not QSK) operation, the hang time of the transmitter, after you have finished sending, may be
adjusted to a comfortable value consistent with your sending speed. This is the functional equivalent of the “VOX Delay”
adjustment used on voice modes, and the delay may be varied anywhere between 30 msec and 3 seconds via Menu item
“
044 A1A DELAY 044 A1A DELAY

ERMINOLOGY
:
CW Pitch : If you tuned to an exact “zero beat” on an in-
coming CW signal, you could not copy it (“Zero beat”
implies a 0 Hz tone). Therefore, the receiver is offset sev-
eral hundreds of Hz (typically), to allow your ear to detect
the tone. The BFO offset associated with this tuning (that
produces the comfortable audio tone) is called the CW
Pitch.
