The break-in function is used in CW mode to automat-
ically toggle the transceiver between transmit and re-
ceive when keying. The IC-746 is capable for full
break-in or semi break-in.

transceive when keying, then automatically returns to
receive after a pre-set time from when you stop key-
ing.
Push [CW/RTTY] to select CW or CW-R mode.
Push [VOX/BK-IN] one or more times to select semi
break-in operation.

ically selects receive if a signal is detected while key-
ing.
