CW Operation
CW Operation Settings by Hearing
If you were working in digital modes before switching to CW, be sure to turn off SPLIT (if necessary), narrow the bandwidth and turn on transmission with the Morse code manipulator (and the automatic key if necessary). Depending on the range, you will also need to increase the frequency spectrum displayed on the display.
