MODE
MK2R includes "special" operating rules selected by the MK2R MODE button. There are three (3) slots,
each of which can carry a different operating rule. So far there are seven predefined rules. Additional rules
can be added by user request.
Use simple auto mode: does not use advanced headphone audio
combinations. Headphone switching behaves the same way as
classic SO2R controllers – headphones are switched to the non-
transmitting radio and the “stereo” line puts the headphones in
split mode regardless of any other inputs. Stored functions will be
also simplified but the content of the stored scenario will be
retained. This allows classic mode to be turned on/off without the
need to modify the stored function.
Reverse operating logic: when used, the current operating logic is reversed. For example, if was first
one wins was selected, last one wins will be used and vice versa.
Reverse WinKey focus:
if the logger is using serial CW, WinKey will key the opposite (unselected)
radio. This means that the paddles will be connected to the radio not in use by the logging software.
Reverse DVK focus: if the logger is using its own DVK, the MK2R DVK will key the opposite
(unselected) radio. You can use the MK2R DVK (with PS/2 keyboard or keypad) to call a station on
the radio that does not have focus.
Delay audio switching: when enabled, headphone switching will be delayed by the defined period
when going from receive to transmit. When using a system that forces the headphones to the non-
transmit radio (e.g., Latch); so long as the radios' monitor functions are enabled, the switching delay
allows the operator to hear the first portion of the message to confirm that the correct message is
being sent!
Reverse Latch: if Latch (“aggressive SO2R”) is enabled, it will be disabled. If Latch is disabled, it will
be enabled. This allows turning Latch on or off without the need to modify the stored function.
Reverse Monitor:
if Monitor (“paddle sidetone”) is enabled, it will be disabled. If Monitor is disabled, it
will be enabled. This allows turning Monitor on or off without the need to modify the stored function.
