Please disregard my post as I have "re-found" the answer. Long story short...I started this activity some six months ago and had to stop for personal reasons. I had simply forgotten that Ray K2ULR had provided the answer back then. When I realized it, I tried to stop my post but Keith WE6R

Let's get our nomenclature right ... CW never means Morse Code. It means continuous wave or carrier wave (used interchangeably). Morse-type Code occurs only when a continuous wave is turned on and off to represent letters, numbers, and punctuation according to a given language's agreed upon

You are correct, it puts out a plain carrier, CW with the key held down. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Feb 4, 2023, at 10:46 AM, JEROME SODUS wrote: > > Hello, > > My question is about the "TUNE" selection (half second hold of the XMIT >

CW = continuous wave, an unmodulated carrier CW <> Morse code, although many take it to mean that these days. One doesn't "learn CW", one "learns Morse code". Do you have a watt meter between the KX3 and the loop? 73 de Lee, AA4GA On Mon, Feb 6, 2023 at 11:14 AM JEROME SODUS wrote: >

Hello, My question is about the "TUNE" selection (half second hold of the XMIT button). The manual's wording is "TUNE is used to put out a CW signal at the power level selected by the __ PWR control.". Normally, "CW" means morse-code. But, in this instance, am I correct in thinking it
