7 COMMUNICATING AIDS
AUTO CW TX IN SSB MODE
If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you can
configure the transceiver to change the operating
mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW and then
transmit in CW mode automatically when you operate
the CW keyers.
The mode automatically changes from USB to CW
and LSB to CWR, regardless of the setting for Menu
No. 42 (Frequency correction for changing SSB to
CW). Therefore, when the CW signal is received in
SSB mode, you can operate the paddle or keyer to
immediately communicate CW with another station.

Note: You must switch the CW Break-in function ON to change
the mode and transmit in CW mode {page 32}.

function is ON, the left paddle will send dashes and
the right paddle will send dots.
