CHANGING THE WEIGHTING
The electronic keyer allows automatic changing of the dot
and dash weighting. Weighting represents the ratio of the
dash time against the dot time.
You can select "Auto Weight", which automatically
changes the ratio in response to the keying speed, or
"Manual Weighting", which fixes the ratio regardless of the
keying speed. If you select a speed in a range from "2.5"
(1:2.5) to "4.0" (1:4), the ratio of dot time to dash time will
be fixed regardless of the keying speed.
1 Select Group No. 5, "CW Configurations", from the
Menu screen.
2 Access Menu 07, "CW Keying Weight Ratio".
3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "Automatic" or the
fixed rations from "2.5" to "4.0".
The default is "Automatic".

45 to 60 1:3.2
WEIGHT REVERSE
If "Automatic" is selected for the weighting, increasing the
keying speed also extends the weight ratio. The Weighting
ratio can be reduced according to the configuration in the
Menu.

Menu screen.

3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select “On” or “Off”.
The default is “Off” (disabling the Weight Reverse). Selecting
“On” allows the transceiver to reduce the weighting ratio.
