Yep, those were things added to the Classic Orion more or less by popular
demand. CW additions are explained in detail on page 31 of the second edition
of the Classic manual, downloadable at rfsquared.
Until you can download the manual.....
There was a lot of racket at first by those who used the PTT line as a keyer
line. So now you can choose to key the rig from the PTT switch, and to use it
as a keying line or not as you choose.
Sidetone pitch is obvious, as is the dot/dash ratio setting under CW weighting.
Higher weight makes the dots/dashes last longer (shorten the inteval between
them) while maintaining the same speed. Internal keyer off or on depends on
your setup, I use both the internal keyer and a memory keyer to the ACC key
line.
CW delay? Zero for my setup, yours may differ. CW rise/fall - set it too short
and your rig generates key clicks.
Filter taps - the more taps the steeper the DSP generated filter skirts are.
The 199 default gives you the sharpest DSP filtering, making signals at the
edge of the passband disappear. Fewer taps means more space between the edge of
the nominal passband and the point you can't hear 'em anymore.
How you set the Curtis Keyer mode A or B function probably depends on how your
first keyer was set. Most prefer A, some prefer B, but you got a choice.
