CHANGING THE WEIGHTING

The electronic keyer allows automatic changing of the dot

and dash weighting. Weighting represents the ratio of the

dash time against the dot time.

You can select "Auto Weight", which automatically

changes the ratio in response to the keying speed, or

"Manual Weighting", which fixes the ratio regardless of the

keying speed. If you select a speed in a range from "2.5"

(1:2.5) to "4.0" (1:4), the ratio of dot time to dash time will

be fixed regardless of the keying speed.
