Figure 2.3-1 CW Key Wiring
A straight key, bug, or external keyer can be
used with the Eagle. Simply plug a 1/8”
mono style connector wired to your device
into the rear apron of the Eagle, see Figure
2.3-2. When power is turned on the Eagle
will detect that mono device automatically. If
you should forget and plug it in after power
has been applied simply toggle the mode
button once through all modes and back again
to CW.
The internal keyer built into the Eagle can be
adjusted to select the proper speed,
abbreviated (SP xx on bottom left screen
corner), weighting, abbreviated (dit SP)
center of display, side tone level, abbreviated
(stl) center of display, and side tone
frequency, abbreviated (stf ) center of display.
To begin adjustments you must first be in the
CW mode, next press FNC until button and
FUNC begin to flash. Press MIC button to
toggle through the keyer functions listed
above.
Numerical adjustments are displayed on
screen and are made using the MULTI knob.
Once you are satisfied you have made the
proper adjustments press FNC once again to
exit. All adjustments will remain when Eagle
is powered off and back on.
Note!
Should a MASTER RESET be required the
keyer functions will be lost. It is often a good
idea to write down your favorite settings so in
the event of a reset you can input those
settings easily.
