Here are the menu settings that relate to cw for the ts-480.
Enjoy comment and debate.
The menu button, just below the mode button has to be on, the up and down buttons change a setting’s options, and the click knob just below the up and down buttons rotates between the menus.
Here are the ts-480 menu setting description’s followed by my chosen settings.
33 Keying priority over playback Without switching off the repeat
32
playback for messages, you can start
keying.
My setting, is set to off, but I am thinking of experimenting with it.
34 CW RX pitch / TX sidetone
frequency
Select RX pitch frequency between
400Hz and 1000Hz. At the same time,
sidetone frequency changes with the
pitch frequency. This can be used to
zero in on a target signal by matching
the sidetone frequency with the RX
beat.
My setting, 600.
35 CW keying weight ratio Change the dot/dash weight ratio. This is usually set to AUTO.
My setting, 3.1
36 Reverse CW keying auto
weight ratio
You can change the AUTO setting for
#35.
My setting is set to on.
37 Bug key function Manual TX can be enabled for dashes only.
My setting is turned to off. I could never run a bug.
38 Swap dot & dash paddle
position
Swap the paddle position to suit either
right-handed or left-handed use.
My setting, is turned to off. I key left handed backwards, I have always made dashes with my thumb.
Yes, a double negative is a positive!
39 Auto CW TX in SSB mode Automatically switch mode to CW transmission by simply operating the paddle.
CW
My setting, is turned to on. This is very handy!
40 Define CW tune frequency Useful if used in combination with #39,
as there is no need to operate the dial
to zero in on a target.
My setting, on.
