firming that the Monitor is now disengaged.
If you set the [ BK-IN ] button to off, you may practice
your sending without having the signal go out over the
air (sidetone only).
If you reduce power using the [ RF PWR ] knob, the
ALC meter reading will increase. This is normal and
does not indicate any problem whatsoever (because in-
creased ALC voltage is being used to lower the power).

ERMINOLOGY
Semi-break-in
This is a pseudo- "VOX" mode used on CW, where
the closure of the CW key will engage the transmitter.
Releasing the key, will allow the receiver to recover
after a short delay. No signals will be heard between
the spaces between dots and dashes (unless the send-
ing speed is extremely slow).
Full break-in
Full break-in (Also known as "Full QSK") involves
very fast switching between transmit and receive, such
that incoming signals may be heard between the dots
and dashes as you send them. This allows you to hear a
station that suddenly starts transmitting on your fre-
quency, while you are in the midst of sending a mes-
sage.
