[1000mp] Can't adjust FT1000mp vox delay

Tue, 1 Jan 2002 00:24:48 -0500

The CW hang time is a menu item, 7-5. The pot is hang for SSB. 7-5 varies between zilch and 5.1
seconds. Default is zilch. Don't get these confused with 7-4.

7-4 is not hang time. It's the setting for the CW delay line, which allows time for amp switchover
relays, etc, to settle, before the CW power hits the circuit. The sent CW is continuously delayed by
this line, up to a maximum of 30 ms, while the ground impulse on the TX GND jack is not delayed.
Default is 5 ms. Open impulse on TX GND is delayed by the 7-4 amount to prevent applied power while
relay is opening.

73, Guy.

> I purchased a FT1000mp years ago just I had to take a break from ham radio due to work
commitments.  Sat in the box for several years and just yesterday pulled out and set up.

seems to be in full break-in mode.  And, yes, I made sure the BRK-IN switch is off.

TCXO-6 installed.  I also installed the IR background noise & AGC mods and cut the J68808 Line 2
wire for transverter operation per the manual (the rig is intended to be used as a full-time 6m IF).
