D I S P L AY Switch Usage in E D I T Mode: The D I S P L AY
switch is
used to access supplemental parameters when editing certain menu
entries (marked "*" above). You will normally not need to change
these settings. Entries which use
D I S P L A Y
include:
Menu Entry D I S P L AY
Usage
PORT Sends an RS232 test message if PORT is ON
PA Selects PA fan mode (see KPA100 manual)
T R N 1 - 6 Selects transverter parameters (see page 109)
D 1 9 Selects PA low-pass filter to use on 60 meters.
P A 6 0 = 80
(80 m filter) or PA60=40 (40/30 m
filter). See instructions in K60XV manual.
Squelch (SLCH)
Squelch defaults to OFF. You can set the threshold to 1-10,
corresponding to the S-meter's bargraph segments. Transmitting holds
squelch open for about 10 seconds.
Tuning Rate Selection (RATES)
The RATES menu entry lets you specify how the
R AT E
switch
works. The four options are:
3 N 3 rates, normal order (10/50/1000 Hz steps)
3 R 3 rates, reverse order (1000/50/10 Hz steps)
3 C 3 rates, CW optimized (10/20/1000 Hz steps)
2 2 rates (10/50 Hz steps only)
Keying Weight (DOT)
DOT sets the internal keyer's dot/space ratio (keying weight). The
range is 0.90-1.40, roughly 90% to 140% of "normal" weighting.
The default is 1.10.
Fast-Play CW Messages (FPLY)
CW messages are normally played by tapping
M S G
, then
0
-
8
. During
contests, some operators prefer to have one-touch access, which we
refer to as Fast-Play.
To use Fast-Play: First, program P F 1
or
P F 2
as FPon for use in
turning Fast-Play mode on/off. Next, use the FPLY menu entry to
select a switch group. For example, if you have FPLY 2-5 selected,
you can use
2
,
3
,
4
, and
5
for Fast-Play. (The
T AP
functions of these
switches won't be available in CW mode;
H O L D
functions are
unaffected.) When Fast-Play is on, the letter F will replace the mode
letter c once every few seconds as a reminder.
A tap of any Fast-Play switch will play its message buffer one time.
To auto-repeat, you must still use
M S G
as described on page 101.
