KEY Jack
This 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts a CW key or
keyer paddles (for the built-in electronic keyer), or
output from an external electronic keyer. Pinout is
shown on page 19. Key up voltage is 5 V, and key
down current is 1 mA. This jack may be configured
for keyer, "Bug," "straight key," or computer keying
interface operation via Menu item "MODE-CW 049
F-KEYER TYPE" (see page 137). There is another
jack with the same name on the rear panel, and it may
be configured independently for Internal Keyer or
pseudo-straight-key operation.
N
OTE
This Key jack is connected in parallel with the jack
with the same name on the front panel.
You cannot use a 2-contact plug in this jack (to do so
produces a constant "key down" condition).
PHONES Jack
A 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts either monaural or
stereo headphones with 2- or 3-contact plugs. When
a plug is inserted, the loudspeaker is disabled. With
stereo headphones such as the optional YH-77STA,
you can monitor both VFO-A and VFO-B channels
at the same time during Dual Receive operation.
N
OTE
This Phones jack is connected in parallel with the jack
with the same name on the front panel.
When wearing headphones, we recommend that you
turn the AF Gain levels down to their lowest settings
before turning power on, to minimize the impact on
your hearing caused by audio "pops" during switch-
on.

ROOFING Switch
This button selects the bandwidth for the VFO-A
receiver's first IF Roofing Filter. Available selections
are 3 kHz, 6 kHz, 15 kHz, or Auto, and the LED indi-
cator will change according to the bandwidth selected.
A
DVICE
Because the roofing filter is in the first IF, the protec-
tion it provides against interference is quite signifi-
cant. When set to AUTO, the SSB bandwidth is 6 kHz,
while CW is 3 kHz and FM/RTTY are 15 kHz. On a
crowded SSB band, however, you may wish to select
the 3 kHz filter, for the maximum possible interfer-
ence rejection.
D.NOTCH Switch
This button turns the VFO-A Digital Notch Filter on
and off. When the Digital Notch Filter is activated,
the LED indicator will glow red. This is an automatic
circuit, and there is no adjustment knob for the
D.NOTCH.
MODE Switches
A, B Button
Pressing the [ A ] or [ B ] switch will illuminate the re-
spective indicator imbedded within the switch, allow-
ing adjustment of the operating mode on the VFO-A
or VFO-B. Pressing the [ A ] switch causes the indica-
tor to glow Red, signifying VFO-A is being adjusted.
Similarly, pressing the [ B ] switch will cause its indi-
cator to glow Orange, signifying VFO-B adjustment.
A
DVICE
When changing bands, be sure to press the [ A ] or [ B ]
switch first, then press the appropriate Band selector
switch, so as to change operating frequencies on the
proper (VFO-A or VFO-B).
