ABOUT CW REVERSE MODE
ABOUT THE AUDIO PEAK FILTER
ABOUT THE CW PITCH CONTROL
The received CW audio pitch and monitored CW audio
can be adjusted to suit your preferences (300 to 900
Hz in 3 Hz steps) without changing the operating fre-
quency.
Rotate [CW PITCH] clockwise to increase the pitch
frequency; counterclockwise to decrease the pitch
frequency.
NOTE: When adjusting the CW pitch and the audio
peak frequency is ON (see above), the center fre-
quency of the audio peak filter may have to be
readjusted. Otherwise, receive audio may not be
emitted.
The APF changes the receive frequency response by
boosting a particular frequency for better copying of
desired CW signals. The peak frequency can be ad-
justed from 300 to 900 Hz manually. The boost fre-
quency width can be selected from 80, 160 or 320 Hz.
Push [APF/ANF] to turn the audio peak lter ON.
Push [APF/ANF] for 2 sec., one or more times, to
select the lter width.
W=320 Hz, M=160 Hz, N=80 Hz.
Rotate the [APF] control to adjust the center fre-
quency of the peak frequency.
CW reverse mode receives CW signals with a reverse
side CW carrier point like that of LSB and USB modes.
Use this mode when interfering signals are near the
desired signal and you want to change the interference
tone.

USING DIFFERENT OPERATING MODES
Convenient functions for receive
q Preamplier and attenuator (p. 38) The preamp amplies received signals in the front end
circuit to improve the S/N ration and sensitivity. The at-
tenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting
when very strong signals are near the desired fre-
quency or when very strong electric fields, such as
from a broadcasting station, are near you.
w Noise blanker (p. 39) The noise blanker is used to reduce pulse-type noise
caused by vehicle ignition systems and key clicks from
strong CW signals on nearby frequencies.
e Noise reduction (p. 40) The noise reduction function reduces noise compo-
nents and picks out desired signals which are buried
in noise. This function digitally transposes receive
audio components to produce desired AF frequency
characteristics at the IF stage.
r Twin PBT (passband tuning) (p. 41) The PBT function electronically narrows the receivers
IF passband widths to reduce interference. Moving
both [TWIN PBT] controls to the same position shifts
the IF.
t AGC (auto gain control) (p. 39) The AGC controls receiver gain to produce a constant
audio output level even when the received signal
strength is varied by fading, etc.
y 1/4 function (p. 39) Normally, one rotation of the tuning dial changes the
frequency by about 5 kHz (in 10 Hz tuning steps).
Using the 1/4 function sets the tuning dial so that one
rotation changes the frequency by about 1.25 kHz (in
10 Hz steps). This is convenient for critical tuning.

ı TRANSMITTING
Before transmitting, monitor your selected operating
frequency to make sure transmitting wont cause inter-
ference to other stations on the same frequency.
Connect an electronic keyer or paddle to the [ELEC-
KEY] jack on the rear panel of the transceiver
(p. 68).
Push a band key to select the desired band.
Push [CW/RTTY] to select CW or CW-R.
Push [CW/RTTY] for 2 sec. to toggle between CW and
CW-R modes.
Rotate [AF] to set audio to a comfortable listening
level.
Push [TRANSMIT] to set the transceiver to the
transmit condition.
Use the electronic keyer or paddle to key your CW
signals.
The P0
meter indicates transmitted CW signal strength.
ABOUT KEYING SPEED
CW SIDE TONE FUNCTION
The transceivers internal electronic keyer speed can
be adjusted from 6 to 60 wpm.
Rotate [KEY SPEED] clockwise to increase keying
speed; counterclockwise to decrease keying speed.
When the transceiver is in the receive condition (and
the break-in function is OFFp. 44) you can listen to
the tone of your CW signal without actually transmit-
ting. This allows you to match your transmit signal ex-
actly to another stations. This also convenient for CW
practice. CW side tone level can be adjusted in CW set
mode (p. 27).
Convenient functions for transmit
Break-in function (p. 44) The break-in function automatically toggles the trans-
ceiver between transmit and receive when operating
CW. This function can be set to full break-in or semi
break-in.
