Morse code on the icom ic718 

It’s a good radio glad it helped

Andrew Fisher I got my from a cash converters here in the uk . All that was wrong with it was a screw was missing out the microphone causing a buzz when I tx . Replaced the screw with one from a old microphone and it works fine now

Glad it helped :-)

Harpan Budi Santoso yes it called bk in . Cheers

@@2j4ez thank you. YD2BLH

Harpan Budi Santoso glad you liked it 👍

its a good rig to practice on I like the way you can use a key paddle or the microphone to do morse code

@@2j4ez New to HF, and I am borrowing an IC-7300 from a local ham who needs someone to figure out how to get it working for ARES/local Sherrif's EmComm station... but there is something enduring about an HF such as the IC-718 that is still in production after how many years?

Mike Darling your love hf I managed to get mine from a local cash converters who knocked off £60 because of no power lead . It’s a good radio and it’s easy to use

How do I turn off practice mode so I can transmit with my straight key

@@Hammondguy88 on the break in setting (BK-IN). Set it to Full break in (Fl) or Semi Break in (Se) to transmit, or off (Of) to practice. Make sure you're in CW mode, just like you would to practice, I hope that helps.

I reversed the paddles so dots are on the left side and the dashes are on the right side.

its mono for single key and stereo for paddle key

Not sure I’ll look into that

Cергей Р thanks and thank you for watching 73s

Your the guy that made it nice one :-)

Thanks des for the nice comment des and thanks for watching

Glynn H yes I find them easy to learn with I’ve just been playing with morse code again and I starting to learn words and phrases . Thanks for watching -.-. .... . . .-. ...

I learnt a few words to send but receiving was a whole new world of pain lol, I gave up

Glynn H once I get a bit better at it I’ll try listening. I’ve looking at text examples on line and keying those in
