Only the “Dot” sideis automatically generated (the “Dash” side isgenerated manually).ELEKEY-A:A code element (“Dot” or “Dash” side) is trans-mitted upon pressing both sides of the paddle.ELEKEY-B:Pressing both sides of the paddle transmits thecurrently generated “Dash” side followed by“Dot” side (or reverse order).ELEKEY-Y:Pressing both sides of the paddle transmits thecurrently generated “Dash” side followed by“Dot” side (or reverse order).While transmitting the “Dash” side, the firsttransmitted “Dot” side will not be stored.ACS:Functions as the “Keyer with automatic spac-ing control feature” which sets spacing betweencharacters precisely to be the same length as adash (three dots in length).013 KEYER DOT/DASHFunction: Reverses the connections of the CW paddlefront panel key jackAvailable Values: NOR/REVDefault Setting: NORDescription: Reverses the connections of the CW pad-dle.NOR:Press the right side of the paddle to transmit the“Dot” signal and press the left side of the paddleto transmit the “Dash” signal.REV:Press the left side of the paddle to transmit the“Dash” signal and press the right side of thepaddle to transmit the “Dot” signal.014 CW WEIGHTFunction: Adjusts the keyer CW weight.Available Values: 2.5 - 4.5Default Setting: 3.0Description: Sets the “Dot”:“Dash” ratio for the built-inelectronic keyer.015 BEACON INTERVALFunction: Sets the interval time between repeats of thebeacon message.Available Values: OFF/1 - 240sec (1sec/step)/270 -690sec (30sec/step)Default Setting: OFFDescription: Sets the interval time between repeats ofthe beacon message.A message (message memory/text memory) regis-tered in the contest memory keyer, may be transmit-ted as a CW Beacon message.If you do not want the message to repeat in a beaconmode, set this item to “OFF”.016 NUMBER STYLEFunction: Selects the contest number “Cut” format foran imbedded contest number.Available Values: 1290/AUNO/AUNT/A2NO/A2NT/12NO/12NTDefault Setting: 1290Description: Abbreviates numbers “One”, “Two”,“Nine” and “Zero” using Morse code when sendingthe contest number.1290:Does not abbreviate the contest number.AUNO:Abbreviates to “A” for “One”, “U” for “Two”,“N” for “Nine”, and “O” for “Zero”.AUNT:Abbreviates to “A” for “One”, “U” for “Two”,“N” for “Nine”, and “T” for “Zero”.A2NO:Abbreviates to “A” for “One”, “N” for “Nine”,and “O” for “Zero”. Does not abbreviate number“Two”.A2NT:Abbreviates to “A” for “One”, “N” for “Nine”,and “T” for “Zero”. Does not abbreviate number“Two”.12NO:Abbreviates to “N” for “Nine”, and “O” for“Zero”. Does not abbreviate numbers “One” and“Two”.12NT:Abbreviates to “N” for “Nine”, and “T” for“Zero”. Does not abbreviate numbers “One” and“Two”.017 CONTEST NUMBERFunction: Enters the contest number using Morse code.Available Values: 0 - 9999Default Setting: 1Description: Enters the contest number using Morsecode (page 84).M enu M oDe
