MONITOR
When you are receiving while the squelch function is
ON, weak signals become intermittent.
Or, if the CTCSS function is ON, you may want to
disable the squelch function temporarily to monitor
the current channel activities.
In these cases, use the MONITOR function to disable
the squelch function temporarily.
To assign the MONITOR function to a [PF] key on the
front panel:
1 Press [MENU] and turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 51A.
2 Press [+]/ [–] to select RX MONI.
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
Note: You can also assign the MONITOR function to a
programmable function key on an optional MC-47 microphone.
PF KEY
You can program the front panel [PF] key to assign a
function that you frequently use. The default is Voice
1 for the optional Voice Synthesizer, VS-3 {page 91}.
You can assign one of the functions in
“MICROPHONE PF KEYS” to this PF key, accessing
Menu No. 51A.
RISE TIME OF CW
The rise time of a CW signal is the time for the RF
output to rise to its maximum power after the key is
closed. The default setting, 6 ms, is fine for slow to
medium keying speed and normal weighting (dot/
dash ratio). The 4, 2 or 1 ms settings are good for
faster keying speeds.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 32.
2 Press [+]/ [–] to select the desired rise time
(default is 6 ms).
3 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit Menu
mode.
