Pushbutton Switch Functions
There are three small pushbutton switches below the display. A fourth
pushbutton switch is built into the VFO knob.
T AP
a switch to access its upper function (white label);
H O L D
a
switch for 1/2 second to access its lower function (yellow label). Some
switches can be held in combination as described at right.
Note: The M E N U
,
B AN D
, and
R I T
switches can also be used at
power-on to select maximum LED display brightness and turn on CW
feedback on switch press at 10, 20, or 30 WPM (see page 67).
Switch T AP and H O L D Functions
M E N U
Displays the menu (see next page)
E D I T
Edits current menu parameter
B AN D
One tap shows frequency (MHz first, then kHz; L
or U is added in LSB or USB modes). Two quick taps
selects the next higher band.
W P M
Allows keyer speed adjustment using VFO control (8-
5 0
WPM) without transmitting.
R I T
Turns RIT on/off. When RIT is on, the decimal point
will flash slowly. The VFO knob will then vary only
the receive frequency, in 20 Hz steps, +/- 5 kHz.
C L R
Zeros RIT offset When RIT is OFF, holding CLR for
two seconds starts scanning (page 66).
1 0 / 1 0 0
Selects 10 or 100 Hz VFO steps
1 k H z
Selects 1 kHz VFO steps (5 kHz , USB/LSB modes)
Switch Combinations
M E N U
+
B AN D TUNE: Initiates TUNE mode (key-down)
Note: Limit TUNE time to 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off. If a
KXAT1 ATU is installed, you’ll see ATU for a few seconds during
TUNE, followed by the power output (e.g. P2.0). Tapping any switch
will cancel TUNE and flash the SWR (e.g. r1.0). If no ATU is
installed, the display will show tun, since the KX1 itself does not
include power metering. You'll still need to tap a switch or the keyer
paddle to exit TUNE mode even in the non-ATU case.
B AN D
+
R I T DISP: Selects display mode
Selects frequency (nor), S-meter (bargraph), or battery voltage
(BAT) display mode. In S-meter mode, the frequency is re-displayed
whenever the VFO is moved. S-meter mode functions as Frequency
Announce mode if audible CW feedback is enabled (page 67). Battery
display mode can be used during transmit or receive; in transmit mode,
it overrides the bargraph or TUNE display.
