Cw Identifier Setup - Yaesu FT-2980R Operating Manual

ARTS™ (Automatic Range Transponder System)

CW Identifier Setup

The ARTS™ feature includes a CW identifier, as discussed previously. Every ten minutes
during ARTS™ operation, the radio can be instructed to send "DE (your callsign) K", if this
feature is enabled. The callsign field may contain up to 16 characters.
Here's how to program the CW Identifier:
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select "11 CW ID".
2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key, followed by the [ LOW ( A/N )]
key, to display any previously-stored callsign.
3. Press and hold in the [ LOW ( A/N )] key for one second to
Clear any previous callsign.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first letter/number of
your callsign, then press the [ LOW ( A/N )] key momen-
tarily to save the first letter/number and move on to the
next character.
5. Repeat the previous step, as many times as necessary,
to complete your callsign. Note that the "slant bar" (– • •
– •) is among the available characters, should you be a
"portable" station.
6. If you make a mistake, press the [ REV ( DW )] key to
move back to the previous letter/number's slot, then
re-select the correct letter/number.
7. When you have finished entering your entire callsign and it contains less than 16
characters, press the [ MHz ( SET )] key momentarily to confirm the callsign. (if you
callsign has exactly 16 characters, you do not need to press the [ MHz ( SET )] key in
this step, and step ).
8. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key momentarily again, then ro-
tate the DIAL knob to set this Item to "ON" (to enable
the CW ID function).
9. When you have made your selection, press and hold in
the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal oper-
ation.
To disable the CW Identifier:
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select "11 CW ID".
2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key momentarily, then rotate the
DIAL knob to set this Item to "OFF" (to disable the CW
ID function).
3. When you have made your selection, press and hold in
the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to save the new set-
ting and exit to normal operation.
You may check your work by monitoring the entered callsign. To do this, re-
call Set Mode Item "11 CW ID" and press the [MHz(SET)] key, then press the [D/
MR(MW)] key.
