A number of interesting and useful features are available during Electronic Keyer operation.
The Menu may be used to adjust the Weight for the built-in Electronic Keyer. The default weighting is 3:1 (a dash is
three times longer than a dot or space).
1. Press the [ MENU ] button briefly, to enter the Menu
mode.
2. Rotate the ( VFO-A )[ SELECT ] knob to select
Menu item "065 A1A WEIGHT".
3. Rotate the ( VFO-B )[ SELECT ] knob to set the
weight to the desired value. The available adjust-
ment range is for a Dot/Space:Dash ratio of "2.5"
~ "4.5" (default value: "3.0").
4. When you are finished, press and hold in the
[ MENU ] button for two seconds to save the new
setting and exit to normal operation.
The configuration of the Electronic Keyer may be customized independently for the front and rear KEY jacks of the
FT
5000. This permits utilization of Automatic Character Spacing (ACS), if desired, as well as the use of the
DX
electronic keyer via the front jack and a straight key or computer-driven keying line via the rear panel.
1. Press the [ MENU ] button briefly, to enter the Menu
mode.
2. Rotate the ( VFO-A )[ SELECT ] knob to select
Menu item "057 A1A F-TYPE" (for the front KEY
jack) or "059 A1A R-TYPE" (for the rear-panel
KEY jack).
3. Rotate the ( VFO-B )[ SELECT ] knob to set the
keyer to the desired mode. The available selections
are:
OFF:
The built-in Electronic Keyer is turned off
("straight key" mode).
Dots will be generated automatically by
BUG:
the keyer, but dashes must be sent manu-
ally.
ELEKEY: Both dots and dashes will be generated
automatically when you use your paddle.
Same as "ELEKEY" except that the spac-
ACS:
ing between characters is precisely set by
the keyer to be the same length as a dash
(three dots in length)
4. When you are finished, press and hold in the
[ MENU ] button for two seconds to save the new
setting and exit to normal operation.
