Selecting the Keyer Operating Mode
The configuration of the Electronic Keyer may be customized independently for the front panel KEY jack of the
FT-991A . This permits utilization of Automatic Character Spacing (ACS), if desired. This allows the use of an
electronic keyer via the front jack and a straight key or computer-driven keying line via the rear panel jack.

2. Rotate the MULTI knob to select Menu item “

side) is transmitted upon releasing
both sides of the paddle.

(or reverse order).

ELEKEY
” except that the
spacing between characters is pre-
cisely set by the keyer to be the same
