The decoded character strings are displayed on the 
sub-display (up to 8 characters) by decoding the 
received Morse code.

1 Press 

[CW/FSK (REV)] until you select CW mode.

• “CW” 

appears.

2 Press 

[DATA] to toggle the Morse Code Decoder 

ON and OFF.

• “

” appears when the Morse Code Decoder 

is ON.

•  Whenever one character is decoded, the 

character is displayed from the right end in Sub-
display.

Adjust the threshold level in order to reduce the 
infl uence of the signal strength and external noise, 
adjust the threshold level.

1  With the Morse code decoder ON, press and hold 

[DATA].

•  Threshold Level Setting mode starts. “

” will 

blink and the current number display and meter 
display levels will blink.

2 Turn 

the 

MULTI/CH control to set the threshold 

level.

•  Adjust the threshold from 1 to 10 for weak 

signals in which the S-meter does not show any 
defl ection.

•  Adjust the threshold from 11 to 30 for strong 

signals in which the S-meter defl ects the 
needle.

3 Press 

[DATA (REV)] or [CLR] to exit the threshold 

level adjustment mode.

◆

  The keying speeds range from 4 to 60 wpm.

◆

  The weighting ranges from 2.5 (1:2.5) to 4.0 (1:4.0).

◆

  There are eight corresponding abbreviations:  BT, AR, AS, 

HH, SK, KN, BK, and SN.

◆

  The split-frequency and RIT/XIT frequency are not displayed 

during this function.

◆

  The setting mode is displayed by priority in setting modes.   

When the setting modes are fi nished, the most recent 
decoded character strings are displayed.

◆

  Depending on radio wave conditions (noise, fading, signal 

interference, etc.), decoding may not be performed correctly.

◆

  If the keying speed of the target signal changes during 

reception, the character immediately before and after the 
changed speed will not be decoded correctly.

◆

  Characters that cannot be decoded are displayed as 

underscores.

◆

  Available alphanumeric characters that can be displayed are 

listed below.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T 
U V W X Y Z / @ ?.
