8 COMMUNICATING AIDS
• While playing back the messages, you can
also adjust the keyer speed by pressing
[KEY/ DELAY] and turning the MULTI/ CH
control.
• To interrupt transmission, press [CLR].
4 If you pressed [SEND] in step 2, press [SEND]
again to return to receive mode.
Changing the Inter-message Interval Time
For the message playback repeat, select Menu
No. 29A and set it ON. You can also change the
interval playback time of the message. Use Menu
No. 29B, and select the time in the range of 0 to
60 seconds, in steps of 1 second.
Note: The Menu 29A and 29B settings are shared with the voice
communication modes when the optional DRU-3A is installed.
Changing the Sidetone Volume
Turning the MAIN AF or SUB AF control does not
change the CW sidetone playback volume. To
change the CW sidetone volume, access Menu
No. 13 and OFF, or 1 to 9.
Insert Keying
If you operate a CW keyer manually while playing
back a recorded CW message, the transceiver
stops playing back the message. However, during
contests or regular QSOs, you may sometimes
want to insert a different number or message at a
certain point in the recorded message.
In this case, first record the CW message as usual
{page 43}, without the number or message you
want to insert. Then, access Menu No. 30 and
select ON.
Now if you operate a CW keyer while you play
back a recorded message, the transceiver pauses
the playback of the recorded message, instead of
stopping it. When you finish sending the number
or message with the keyer, the transceiver
resumes playback of the message.
FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CW
If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would
sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to
watch and listen CW signals. It is fine just to monitor
those CW signals but you have experienced that
changing the mode from SSB to CW results losing
the target CW signal. This is because the frequency
on the display always shows the true carrier
frequency for all modes. If you want the transceiver
to shift the receiving frequency to trace the receiving
CW signal when changing the mode from SSB (USB
or LSB) to CW, switch this function ON. The
transceiver shifts the receiving frequency when
changing the mode from SSB to CW. So, you can
still hear the target signal and instantly trasmit the
signal in CW, without adjusting the frequency.

keyers.
