[1000mp] [FT-1000MP] Questions on operating CW

[Dan Z]

I'm not sure about the MK V, but the MP has menu settings for SSB offset as well as CW.  Check to make sure both transceivers have the same settings, since that could goof you up when switching modes on two rigs.

>Dear Brian:    I recall that the Mk5 may be set to transmit and receive on CW either with low injection (USB) or high injection (LSB).  See manual for how to set this, but I suspect that a different injection place between the two transceivers is the cause of what you report.

I can't get my head wrapped around how to use a Mark V in CW so that another station - also using a Mark V can hear me - when we have gotten setup on SSB with each other.

The Operator's Manual really is poorly written in this area.
