When the keyer paddle is pressed, the transmitter

will automatically be activated, and the CW charac-
ters (or a string of dots or dashes) will be transmit-
ted. When the keyer paddle is released, transmission
will cease, and after a brief delay, reception will be
restored. The delay time is user-programmable, per
the discussion on page 83.
 The CW sidetone audio level may be set using
"MONITOR" (see page 72).
 If [BK-IN] is set to "OFF", you may practice sending
CW with the sidetone only, without having the signal
go out over the air. (Press the front panel F(M-LIST)
button to reveal the functions list on the TFT display ).
 If the transmitter power is reduced via [RF PWR]
function, the ALC meter reading
is normal and does not indicate any problem whatso-
ever (because increased ALC voltage is being used
to lower the power).
 The keying operation may also be enabled in LSB/
USB mode to send the CW signal via the Menu item
"055 CW AUTO MODE" without switching to CW
mode.
 The same frequency may be displayed when switch-
ing between SSB mode and CW mode by setting
Menu item "059 CW FREQ DISPLAY".
 By connecting a computer, CW can be operated us-
ing free or commercially available software and set-
ting Menu item "060 PC KEYING".
 The electronic keyer operation mode can be changed
via the Menu item "012 KEYER TYPE".
