knob for a comfortable listening level on the CW sidetone. To disable the CW
monitor, press the [MONI] button (the “MONI” icon is disappeared).
If you set the [BK-IN] button to Off, you may practice your sending without having
the signal go out over the air (sidetone only).
If you reduce power via the Menu item “111 TGEN TX PWR”, the ALC meter
reading will increase; this is normal and does not indicate any problem whatsoever
(because increased ALC voltage is being used to lower the power).
Full Break-in (QSK) Operation
As shipped from the factory, the FT-950 TX/RX system for CW is configured for
“Semi-break-in” operation. However, using Menu item “043 A1A BK-IN,” you may
change this setup for full break-in (QSK) operation, whereby the switching is quick
enough to hear incoming signals in the spaces between the dots and dashes of your
transmission.
1. Press the [MENU] button to engage the Menu.
2. Rotate the [SELECT] knob so as to select Menu item “043 A1A BK-IN.”
Advice: Press the [SELECT] knob to toggle the Menu item display between “043
A1A” and “BK-IN”.
3. Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to set this Menu item to “FuLL”.
4. When your adjustments are complete, press and hold in the [MENU] button for
two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
A number of interesting and useful features are available during Electronic Keyer
operation.
Setting the Keyer Weight (Dot:Dash) Ratio
The Menu may be used to adjust the Weight for the built-in Electronic Keyer. The
default weighting is 3:1 (a dash is three times longer than a dot).
1. Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select Menu item “046 A1A WEIGHT.”
Advice: Press the [SELECT] knob to toggle the Menu item display between “046
A1A” and “WEIGHT”.
3. Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to set the weight to the desired value. The
available adjustment range is for a Dot:Dash ratio of 2.5 ~ 4.5 (default value: 3.0).
4. When you are finished, press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
