[. . . ] The default is 50 (500 ms). 4 Turn the MULTI/CH control to select "FBK" (Full Break-in) or a delay time for Semi Break-in. · Delay time ranges from 5 to 100 (50 ms to 1000 ms) in steps of 5. The keying speed of the electronic keyer is fully adjustable. Selecting the appropriate speed is important in order to send error-free CW that other operators can copy solidly. Selecting a speed that is beyond your keying ability will only result in mistakes. You will obtain the best results by selecting a speed that is close to the speed used by the other station. 1 Press [CW/FSK (REV)] until you select CW mode. · The current keying speed appears.

When a fixed weight ratio is selected, the dot/ dash weight ratio is locked, irregardless of the keying speed. Auto Weighting increases the weighting as you increase your keying speed. However, the electronic keyer also can decrease the weighting as you increase your keying speed. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 36 to "Auto", refer to the following.
