CW Decode
Alphanumeric Morse code can be decoded and
displayed as text on the TFT Panel.
Interfering signals, noise, propagation phasing,
and code inaccuracy, may prevent accurate
message copy.
1. Press the [CW] key to set the operating mode
to CW.
2. Turn the [MIC/SPEED] knob to closely match
the speed of the received CW signal.
If the speed is significantly different, it may
not be deciphered correctly.
3. Press the [FUNC] key.
4. Touch [DECODE] .
The CW DECODE screen is displayed, and
the decoded message text will appear on the
screen.

● If extraneous characters are displayed, due
to noise and clutter when a CW signal is
not being received, touch [DEC LVL] and
then rotate the [MULTI] knob to adjust the
threshold level.
5. To cancel the CW decode function, touch
[DEC OFF].
CW Spotting (Zero-Beating)
“Spotting” (zeroing in on another CW station) is
a handy technique to ensure the transceiver and
the other station are operating precisely on the
same frequency.
The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may
also be moved to adjust the receiver frequency to
center on the incoming station with the CW pitch
corresponding to that of the transmit signal.
Zero-In
The turn OFF the Tuning Offset Indicator using
Menu item “CW INDICATOR” page 94.
