Setting the Keyer Weight
(Dot/Dash) Ratio
This Menu item may be used to adjust the dot/
dash ratio for the built-in Electronic Keyer. The
default weighting is 3:1 (a dash is three times lon-
ger than a dot).
1. Press the [FUNC] knob.
2.
Select [CW SETTING]→[KEYER]→[CW
WEIGHT].
3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>”
on either side of the value to set the weight to
the desired value. The available adjustment
range is a Dot/Dash ratio of 2.5 - 4.5 (default
value: 3.0).
4. Press the [FUNC] knob to save the new set-
ting.
5. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor-
mal operation.
• Reversing the Keyer Polarity
The Keyer polarity can be reversed easily in the
Menu mode without changing the keyer connec-
tions (the default setting is “NOR”). Example: for
left-handed operators in a contest.
In the Keyer modes described on the chart
at the right, BUG and OFF modes are not
changed.
1. Press the [FUNC] knob.
2.
Select [CW SETTING] → [KEYER].
3. Select [KEYER DOT/DASH].
4. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>”
on either side of the value to set the “REV”.
5. Press the [FUNC] knob to save the new set-
ting.
6. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor-
mal operation.

Selecting the Keyer Operating Mode
The configuration of the Electronic Keyer may be
customized for the FTDX10. This permits utiliza-
tion of Automatic Character Spacing (ACS), if de-
sired. This allows the use of an electronic keyer
via the front jack and a computer-driven keying
line via the rear panel.
1. Press the [FUNC] knob.
2.
Select [CW SETTING]→[KEYER].
3. Select [KEYER TYPE].
4. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>”
on either side of the value to set the keyer to
the desired operating mode, see the table be-
low.
5. Press the [FUNC] knob to save the new set-
ting.
6. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor-
mal operation.
OFF
The built-in Electronic Keyer is turned
OFF ("straight key” mode).
BUG
Dots will be generated automatically
by the keyer, but dashes must be sent
manually.
ELEKEY-A
A code element (“Dot” or “Dash” side) is
transmitted upon releasing both sides
of the paddle.
ELEKEY-B
Releasing both sides of the paddle
transmits the currently generated “Dash”
side followed by “Dot” side (or reverse
order).
ELEKEY-Y
Pressing both sides of the paddle
transmits the currently generated “Dash”
side followed by “Dot” side (or reverse
order).
While transmitting the “Dash” side, the
first transmitted “Dot” side will not be
stored.
ACS
Same as “ELEKEY” except that the
spacing between characters is precisely
set by the keyer to be the same length
as a dash (three dots in length).
