MORSE CODE DECODER
The decoded character strings are displayed on the
sub-display (up to 8 characters) by decoding the
received Morse code.
1 Press [CW/FSK (REV)] until you select CW mode.
• “CW” appears.
2 Press [DATA] to toggle the Morse Code Decoder
ON and OFF.
• “
” appears when the Morse Code Decoder
is ON.
Whenever one character is decoded, the
character is displayed from the right end in Sub-
display.
THRESHOLD LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the threshold level in order to reduce the
infl uence of the signal strength and external noise,
adjust the threshold level.
1 With the Morse code decoder ON, press and hold
[DATA].
Threshold Level Setting mode starts. “ ” will
blink and the current number display and meter
display levels will blink.
2 Turn the MULTI/CH control to set the threshold
level.
Adjust the threshold from 1 to 10 for weak
signals in which the S-meter does not show any
defl ection.
Adjust the threshold from 11 to 30 for strong
signals in which the S-meter defl ects the
needle.
3 Press [DATA (REV)] or [CLR] to exit the threshold
level adjustment mode.
Note:
The keying speeds range from 4 to 60 wpm.
The weighting ranges from 2.5 (1:2.5) to 4.0 (1:4.0).
There are eight corresponding abbreviations: BT, AR, AS,
HH, SK, KN, BK, and SN.
The split-frequency and RIT/XIT frequency are not displayed
during this function.
The setting mode is displayed by priority in setting modes.
When the setting modes are fi nished, the most recent
decoded character strings are displayed.
Depending on radio wave conditions (noise, fading, signal
interference, etc.), decoding may not be performed correctly.
If the keying speed of the target signal changes during
reception, the character immediately before and after the
changed speed will not be decoded correctly.
Characters that cannot be decoded are displayed as
underscores.
Available alphanumeric characters that can be displayed are
listed below.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T
U V W X Y Z / @ ?.
The number 0 is displayed by entering a slash.
This function does not work with message playback that is
recorded.
