Thanks for another good elmering video. I appreciate them, and how you concisely explain and demonstrate each topic. As you noted, my old Ten-Tec Corsair II calls this CW-Reverse. 73

Great explanation. I never quite understood the CW reverse on the 7300 and when it may be useful but seeing it as U and L and how you demoed made a lot more sense. I now have another tool in the toolbelt when operating CW! Thanks!

This video is for the people that are not in CW...and it's time to learn CW...it's so amazing that you are able to hear a 3W station at 2100 km (1300 miles)...and able to work that station

Thanks for another interesting video. Maybe one time you could do a live one when some of could try and work you on CW, could be fun. 73's

You are great at explaining things and I like it.
After 20 + years I like below novice. Tried to cop my mind just get lost. I have the 1200, it just mean the 5000. So saving $$ to get the 10.
Not being a technical you show how to get it to hear it with out all the extra noise.
What is the easiest way to look back at you older videos

Thank you for taking the time to explain this. What type of key do you recommend to start learning CW? Completely off subject, do you recommend uploading logs to LoTW or QRZ or both? Thanks again.

Should be called as CW left and CW right 😂

Greetings. Great video. I just stumbled across it. I use the USB CW and LSB CW feature on my Yaesu FT DX 1200 all the time. I'm mostly a CW operator however I also do work phone.
But whenever I'm working CW if I have any qrm and sometimes qrn, from an adjacent station encroaching on my frequency I just switch from USB CW to LSB CW or vice versa and it gets rid of the interference. I also use my 50 hertz APF filter along with narrowing the bandwidth and other DSP features. I've been in the middle of QSO's on CW and as long as the station I'm working is zeroed in on the same frequency, like you said in the video I can switch from upper sideband CW to lower sideband CW and there's no change, or very little change, in the tone. Once again though provided that you are both on the same frequency. That's another thing I like about Yaesu radios they have that zero in feature where it shows you if you're on frequency or if you're off frequency by how much. And it's really easy to center just get it lined up in the middle and there you go. 73 All the best.
