Hi Butch, To the left of the main tuning knob are two columns of buttons. The column you are looking for is the left column. They are on and off. The top one is mike gain. Press it once and then using the multi function knob which is on the far right, second from the top. It has 100 clicks. I run mine on about 70. Don't forget to hit that button the second time. The button below mike is power set. It works like the mike gain except there is only 20 clicks, it goes from 5 watts counter clockwise to 100 clockwise. The third button is for CW keying speed.I don't remember how the speed is, I just turn it until it is suitable. It is much better with the rig in front of you. Now, Butch, the first thing you must do is count all the buttons and make sure they are all there. 73 Walt WA4QXT New London CT [log in to unmask]
