Menu Functions
To access the menu, tap MENU. You can then scroll through menu entries by rotating the VFO knob (see list below). Hold EDIT to display a menu
entry's parameter, then change the parameter using the VFO knob. (Note: PLY and RCL behave differently: there is no need to enter edit mode to
use them. See table for details.) Tap
MENU to return to scrolling. Another tap of MENU will return you to normal operation. Edit Shortcut: You can
skip tapping MENU and jump directly into editing the last-used menu entry by holding EDIT.
Menu Entry Description Usage Details
LED
LED Display Control
Tap
BAND and RIT to select display brightness (0-5).
VFO knob selects on-time (5 to 60 sec. in 5 sec. increments, or INF for infinite).
STL
Sidetone Level
There are four sidetone volume levels (
0-3). AF GAIN also affects sidetone level.
STP
Sidetone Pitch
Pitch range is
500 to 700 Hz in 10 Hz steps. 600 Hz recommended to match BFO offset.
T-R
Transmit-Receive Delay
The T-R (QSK) delay can be set from
0 to 900 ms (20 ms recommended for casual operation).
RPT
Message Repeat Interval
Sets CW message auto-repeat interval (
0 to 255 seconds). See page 66.
INP
Input Device Selection
Select
Hnd (hand key or external keyer) or PDn / PDr (internal keyer, paddle norm./rev.).
With
PDn selected, J3 "tip" is DOT and "ring" is DASH. PDr is the reverse.
IAB
Iambic Mode With a two-lever paddle (e.g. Elecraft KXPD1), you can use iambic keying; holding both paddles repeats a
DOT-DASH or DASH-DOT pattern. This can improve sending efficiency.
Mode
A (default) has more forgiving timing and is similar to Curtis keyer IC mode A.
Mode
B is similar to Super CMOS Keyer III mode B.
CFB
CW Feedback Control
10-40 WPM or OFF. When CW feedback is on, audio Morse code is sent in response to all switch or menu
activity, and S-meter mode provides freq. announcements during VFO movement (page 67).
SIG
S-Meter Scale and Zero Set
Zero parameter range is
30-99, adjusted using VFO knob. Set for zero-bars indication in S-meter mode with
no signal. Scale parameter range is
2-6, adjusted by tapping BAND and RIT . With approx. S9+20 dB
signal injected, adjust for 6 bars.
BFO
BFO Calibration Sets BFO calibration offset, +/- 0.99 kHz. See page 68.
DDS
DDS Calibration Sets DDS frequency reference scaling, +/- 99 PPM (parts per million). See page 68.
B30/B80
30/80 m Band Enable
Set to
ON if KXB30 option is installed; covers 30 m and improves 49-m SWL reception (page 71). Tap 1 to
select B30, or 2 to select B80. Set B30 to ON if either the KXB30 or KXB3080 option is installed. Set
B80 to ON if the KXB3080 is installed. Otherwise both should be set to OFF.
BAT
Low-Battery Voltage Set Sets the low-battery warning threshold voltage (see page 62 for recommendations).
ATU
ATU Mode
See KXAT1 manual. If the antenna tuner option is not installed, parameter appears as "
---".
RCL/STO
Freq. Memory Recall/Store
To recall, tap 1 , 2 or 10/100 . To store, hold EDIT to switch to STO, then tap 1 , 2 or 10/100.
One memory can be assigned as the High-Priority memory for quick recall (see page 67).
PLY/REC
CW Message Play/Record
To play, tap 1 or 2. To record, hold EDIT to switch to REC, then tap 1 or 2. Auto-repeat: see page 66.
