through the ANT 1 or ANT 2 connectors.
The XVRT KEY jack for keying of the
transverter is also activated when this menu
selection is turned to 'on'.
Also see the transverter connection and
operation description in Chapter 4.
The next 10 line items correspond to
automatic antenna selection per band.
ORION II provides the ability for the radio to
automatically select an antenna combination
when the band change keypad is used to
change amateur bands.
The available options are Ant1, Ant2,
Ant1/RX, Ant2/RX and ---. The --- dashed
line represents "no change" and when
changing to a band marked as such, the
radio will retain the previous antenna
selection before the band change was
made.
Ant1 and Ant2 automatically selects the
antenna connected to ANT 1 or ANT 2 on
the rear panel for transceive operation.
Ant1/RX will select both the antenna
connected to ANT 1 for transmit and the
receive-only antenna connected to AUX RX
for receive. Ant2/RX will select both the
antenna connected to ANT 2 for transmit
and the receive-only antenna connected to
AUX RX for receive.
Amp Key Tracks is used to determine
whether the open collector output on the
AMP KEY 1 and AMP KEY 2 jacks follows
either a PTT signal or the closure of the
keying loop to actuate. When set to
KEYING LOOP, no closure will appear at
the AMP KEY 1 and/or AMP KEY 2 jacks
until the appropriate keying loop has closed
(also see description of Keying Loop 1 and
Keying Loop 2 in this section).
When set to KEY LINE – when the radio is
placed into transmit the AMP KEY 1 and
AMP KEY 2 open collector outputs will close
regardless of the state of the keying loop.

(CW) CW MENU

Figure 3-2 CW Menu
To select the CW menu, press the button
immediately adjacent to the screen next to
the CW selection (labeled AGC).
CW QSK Delay allows the operator to slow
the QSK action of the transceiver in CW
transmit. A higher value represents more
transmit/receive delay between individual
transmitted CW characters.
Internal Keyer can be turned on and off via
the menu system if desired. Please note
that when the radio is in a CW mode that the
keyer can also be turned on and off from the
front panel by pressing SP. See the
description of (19) SP in Chapter 2.
CW Weighting refers to the 3:1 dit:dah ratio
employed by the CW keyer for transmitting
Morse code. The length of each dah sent is
three times that of a dit, relative to the
spacing between the elements. The default
value is 100%, with an adjustable range of
50% to 150%. As weighting increases in
percentage, dits and dahs become longer in
length, maintaining the 3:1 ratio. As
weighting percentage decreases, dits and
dahs become shorter, maintaining the 3:1
ratio.
Sidetone Pitch is the CW offset from carrier
that is used for listening to CW on the
ORION II. Turn the MULTI knob to adjust.
This value is also adjustable from the front
panel while pressing and holding the SPOT
button and turning the MULTI knob
simultaneously. Also see the description of
(30) SPOT in Chapter 2.
