A number of interesting and useful features are available during Electronic Keyer operation.

Setting the Keyer Weight (Dot/Space:Dash ) Ratio

The Menu may be used to adjust the Weight for the built-in Electronic Keyer. The default weighting is 3:1 (a dash is
three times longer than a dot or space).
1. Press the MNU key (#
mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob (#
lect Menu item "MODE-CW 049 CW WEIGHT."
3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B key (#
weight to the desired value. The available adjust-
ment range is for a Dot/Space:Dash ratio of 2.5 ~
4.5 (default value: 3.0).
4. When you are finished, press and hold in the
MNU key for two seconds to save the new set-
ting and exit to normal operation.
The configuration of the Electronic Keyer may be customized independently for the front and rear KEY jacks of
the FT 9000D. This permits utilization of Automatic Character Spacing (ACS), if desired, as well as the use of the
electronic keyer via the front jack and a straight key or computer-driven keying line via the rear panel.
1. Press the MNU key (#
mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob (#
lect Menu item MODE-CW 041 F-KEYER TYPE
(for the front KEY jack) or MODE-CW 043 R-
KEYER TYPE (for the rear-panel's KEY jack).
3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob (#
keyer to the desired mode. The available selections
are:
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 manu-
ally.
ELEKEY: Both dots and dashes will be generated
automatically when you use your
paddle.
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.)
4. When you are finished, press and hold in the
MNU key for two seconds to save the new set-
ting and exit to normal operation.
