N#### Number
−
sets the serial number. You must enter four numbers,
most significant digit first. All numbers must be in the proper
Morse code format. For example, the number "1" must be "di-
dah-dah-dah-dah" and the number "0" must be "dah-dah-dah-
dah-dah". The serial number can be set from 0000 to 9999
(0000 will be converted to 0001).
P## Pitch
−
sets the sidetone frequency to approximately ##0 Hz,
where ## represents two digits in the range of 30 to 99.
R Reverse
−
reverses the sense of the dot and dash paddles.
T Tone
−
sets the sidetone frequency in the range of approximately
300 to 1000 Hz. Press the dash paddle to raise the sidetone
frequency; press the dot paddle lowers. Squeeze both paddles
exits. Notice an alternating series of dots and dashes are sent to
the sidetone monitor to assist in the setting of the desired
sidetone frequency.
W## Weight
−
sets the code weighting to ## percent, where ##
represents two digits in the range of 25 to 75. Weighting is
independent of the speed.
X Xmit (tune)
−
gives continuous key-down for adjusting transmitter
or antenna tuner. Tapping either paddle exits tune mode and
releases the key line.
Z### Zeros and nines
−
sets the way zeros and nines in the serial
number are sent. The first # sets whether to send the leading
zeros as "0", "O", "T" or not at all by setting # to the double
dash character "=" (dah-di-di-di-dah). The second # sets
whether the other zeros are sent as "0", "O" or "T". The last #
sets whether the nines are sent as "9" or "N". For example,
"ZO09" will send the leading zeros as "O" (dah-dah-dah), the
other zeros as "0" (dah-dah-dah-dah-dah), and the nines as "9"
(dah-dah-dah-dah-dit).
Message Memory
The Message buttons are used to record and play your message. To record a
message, press and hold the corresponding Message button until the keyer plays
"GO" (dah-dah-dit dah-dah-dah) in Morse code and the LED flashes. You may
now key in the message of your choice. As you pause after every word, the
keyer will play a "W" (di-dah-dah) over the sidetone speaker to show that it is
