Note
With either SEMI or FULL break-in operation, cross
band / cross mode operation is not possible.
Additionally, when you are using FULL break-in
you should not work cross band splits, only in the
same band.
This transceiver also provides a sidetone oscillator
circuit to allow monitoring of your CW signal during
transmission.
(a) Semi-automatic break-in
Depressing the CW key will automatically place
the transceiver into the transmit mode. Transmit
mode will be maintained for a period determined
by the setting of the DELAY control on the front
panel of the transceiver, even after the CW key is
released.
■ When the electronic keyer is used as
Bug key
When the electronic keyer is used as the Bug key,
turn the function on with the function setting (menu
number 24) at power on. (Please refer to Section 4-
10-15.)____________________________________
Note
When the ELECTRONIC KEY changeover switch
is on, menu number 24 is displayed.
(b) Full-automatic break-in
Depressing the CW key will automatically place
the transceiver into the transmit mode. Releasing
the CW key will return the radio to receive
immediately
enabling
reception
between
characters.
Cautions
1. The TL-922 / 922A linear amplifier is not
designed for full break-in type operation.
Attempting to use this accessory in the FULL
break-in mode may cause damage to the
linear amplifier.
2. The switching time between transmit and
receive decreases as you increase your
keying speed. This limits the maximum
keying speed that is available during FULL
break-in operation. When using high speed
CW you should use SEMI break-in.
3. During SPLIT operations with FULL break-in,
clicks may be heard in the monitoring tone or
received
signal
depending
on
the
combination of the transmit / receive
frequencies.
4. During full break-in, the received audio that
passes through the 250 Hz band CW narrow
filter may click because of its delay time.
5. If the TS-850S is used with CW filter YK-
88CN-1 (option) or YG-455CN-1 (option), it is
not suitable for full break-in operation
because it has a delay time when the signal
passes through the narrow-band filter. In this
case, you are recommended to perform
SEMI break-in operations.
