Using The Built-In Electronic Keyer; Full Break-In (Qsk) Operation - Yaesu FTDX9000D Operation Manual

Connec the cable from your keyer paddle to the front or rear panel KEY jack.
1. Press the CW mode switch to en-
gage CW operation.
If you press the CW key once more, af-
ter initially selecting CW, you wll engage
the "CW Reverse" mode (see page 104),
whereby the "opposite" sideband injection
is used, compared to the "normal" sideband.
The CW LED will blink for three seconds
if you select CW Reverse.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to se-
lect the desired operating fre-
quency.
3. Press the KEYER
switch.
The LED imbedded in the
switch will light up, con-
firming that the built-in
Electronic Keyer is now
active.
4. Rotate the SPEED control to set the desired send-
ing speed. Clockwise rotation of the SPEED con-
trol will increase the keying speed.
H When you press either the "Dot" or "Dash" side of your paddle,
the transmitter will automatically be activated.
5. If you press the BK-IN/SPOT key momentarily,
"semi-break-in" operation (discussed previously) will
be engaged.
6. CW operation utilizing your paddle
may now commence.
H When you utilize your keyer paddle,
the transmitter will automatically be
activated, and the CW characters (or
a strong of dots and dashes) will be
transmitted. When you release the keyer paddle contacts, trans-
mission will cease after a brief delay; the delay time is user-
programmable, per the discussion on page 105.
Advice
If you reduce power using the RF PWR
ALC meter reading will increase; this is normal and does
not indicate any problem whatsoever (because increased
ALC voltage is being used to lower the power).

Full Break-in (QSK) Operation

As shipped from the factory, the FT
RX system for CW is configured for "Semi-break-
in" operation. However, using Menu item MODE-
CW 047 CW BK-IN, you may change this setup for
full break-in (QSK) operation, whereby the switch-
ing is quick enough to hear incoming signals in the
spaces between the dots and dashes of your trans-
mission.
1. Press the MNU key to open the Menu.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to select Menu item
MODE-CW 047 CW BK-IN. You may also use
the F6 and F7 keys of the TFT to select the
desired Menu item.
3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob to set this
Menu item to "FULL."
4. Press and hold in the MNU key for two sec-
onds to save the new setting and exit.
A number of interesting and useful features are avail-
able during Electronic Keyer operation.
