This section describes the operating procedure using a manual "straight key." This section also pertains to opera-
tion using the output from an external electronic keyer, or from a CW keying interface utilized with a personal
computer (using contest software, etc.).
Insert your key's ¼" three-conductor ("stereo") plug
into the KEY jack on the rear panel of the trans-
ceiver. Remember that the Tip of this plug is the
"hot" key lead, while the main shaft is Ground; the
Ring is not used.
Set the applicable controls as follows:
MODE:
PPOC/KEYER: Off (No icon in this regard
RF PWR:
MONI:
ƒ
To transmit, simply press the straight key (or start
sending on your external keyer/computer). The
transmitter will automatically be activated, and the
CW sidetone will be heard as you send. When you
stop sending, the transceiver will return to the re-
ceive mode. Use the RF PWR control to set the
desired power output level during transmission.
