Break-in allows you to transmit CW without manually 
switching between transmission and reception modes.  
Two types of Break-ins are available:  Semi Break-in 
and Full Break-in.

Semi Break-in:
When the key contacts open, the transceiver 
automatically waits for the duration of the time 
period you selected.  The transceiver then returns to 
reception mode.

Full Break-in:
As soon as the key contacts open, the transceiver 
returns to reception mode.

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

•

“CW” appears.

2 Press [VOX (LEV)].

•

“

” appears.

3 Press and hold [KEY (DELAY)].

•

The current setting (FBK or delay time) 
appears.  The default is 50 (500 ms).

4 Turn the MULTI/CH control to select “FBK” (Full 

Break-in) or a delay time for Semi Break-in.

•

Delay time ranges from 5 to 100 (50 ms to 
1000 ms) in steps of 5.

5 Begin sending.

•

The transceiver automatically switches to
transmission mode.

•

When FBK (Full Break-in) is selected:
The transceiver immediately switches to 
reception mode when the key opens.

•

When a delay time is selected:
The transceiver switches to reception mode 
after the delay time that you have selected has 
passed.

6 Press [CLR] to exit.

Note:  FBK (Full Break-in) cannot be used with the TL-922/ 
922A linear amplifier.

This transceiver has a built-in electronic keyer that 
can be used by connecting a keyer paddle to the 
transceiver’s rear panel.  Refer to “Keys for CW 
(PADDLE and KEY)” {page 2} for details regarding 
this connection.  The built-in keyer supports lambic 
(squeeze) operation.

There are 2 modes of operation when using an 
electronic keyer for lambic keying operation.  Mode A 
completes the current key sequence you are sending 
when you release the paddles.  Mode B sends one 
more key, opposite the current key you are sending, 
upon releasing the paddles.

1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or 

turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 32.

2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “A” or “B” 

(default).

3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

The keying speed of the electronic keyer is fully 
adjustable.  Selecting the appropriate speed is 
important in order to send error-free CW that other 
operators can copy solidly.  Selecting a speed that is 
beyond your keying ability will only result in mistakes.  
You will obtain the best results by selecting a speed 
that is close to the speed used by the other station.

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

•

“CW” appears.

2 Press [KEY (DELAY)].

•

The current keying speed appears.  The default 
is 20 (wpm).

3 While keying the paddle and listening to the TX 

(transmission) sidetone, turn the MULTI/CH control 
to select the appropriate speed.

•

The speeds range from 4 to 60 wpm, in steps of 
1 wpm.  The larger the number, the faster the 
speed.

4 Press [KEY (DELAY)] again to complete the 

setting.

Note:  When using the semi-automatic “Bug” function, the 
selected speed applies only to the rate that dots are sent.

Q

You can make break-in operation invalid while 
performing the keying speed adjustment.

To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 43, 
and select “on” (default is “oFF”).

•

“VOX” blinks when break-in operation is 
enabled.
