Icom IC-7200 & Kent TP-1B Twin Paddle Settings


I will share the settings on the Icom IC-7200 to use the Kent TP-1B Twin Paddle (Iambic keyer).

These are for practicing your CW without transmitting, the audio will come out of your IC-7200's speaker at 20 wpm (words per minute, you can adjust down/up as needed).

Key SPD 20
CW Pitch 60 (hz, set to the tone you like to hear and eventually transmit)
Side LVL 70 (seventy percent speaker level, additionally controlled by volume/SQL knob)

CW Norm L
BK-In of (this prevents transmitting)
BK-Delay 80
Key RAT 30
Key Pol n
Key Type EL

The above settings will, along with wiring your Kent TP-1B keyer to the 1/4 phone jack that came with the radio, will permit CW practice.
