FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CW
If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would
sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to
watch and listen to CW signals. It is fi ne just to
monitor those CW signals but you have experienced
that changing the mode from SSB to CW results in
losing the target CW signal. This is because the
frequency on the display always shows the true carrier
frequency for all modes. If you want the transceiver to
shift the reception frequency to trace the receiving CW
signal when changing the mode from SSB (USB or
LSB) to CW, switch this function ON. The transceiver
shifts the reception frequency when changing the
mode from SSB to CW, so you can still hear the target
signal and instantly transmit the signal in CW without
adjusting the frequency.

AUTO CW TX IN SSB MODE
If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you can
confi gure 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.
