[Elecraft] CW Announcement

[David Anderson]

Jim

page 39 of the manual describes how to change the speed

Use SW Tone 
If set to ON, switch presses generate audible feedback tones. If set to CODE nn, Morse code characters are generated on any control activation at nn words per minute. (The full list of Morse code control characters, as well as a text-only panel description for blind operators, can be found on our KX3 web page.) Switch tone volume is the same as CW sidetone volume. It must be adjusted in CW mode, using MON. 

Hope that helps.
