Changing the Inter-message Interval Time
For the message playback repeat, access Menu
No. 62 and select “on”. You can also change the
interval playback time of the message. Access
Menu No. 63 and select the time in the range of 0
to 60 seconds, in steps of 1 second.
Note: Menu Nos. 56 and 57 settings are shared with the
voice communication modes when the optional VGS-1 is
installed.
■ Changing the CW Sidetone Volume
Turning the AF control does not change the CW
sidetone playback volume. To change the CW
sidetone volume, access Menu No. 06 and select
“oFF”, or “1” to “20”. The default is “10”.
■ Insert Keying
If you operate a CW keyer manually while playing
back a recorded CW message, the transceiver
stops playing back the message. However, during
contests or regular QSOs, you may sometimes
want to insert a different number or message at a
certain point in the recorded message.
In this case, fi rst record the CW message as
usual {page 35}, without the additional number or
message you want to insert. Then, access Menu
No. 39 and select “on”.
Now, if you operate a CW keyer while you play
back a recorded message, the transceiver pauses
the playback of the recorded message, instead of
stopping it. When you fi nish sending the number or
message with the keyer, the transceiver resumes
playback of the message.
