\section cw_freq Carrier Frequency
Fldigi generates CW by inserting a keyed tone at the current
waterfall audio frequency. The CW carrier frequency is the USB
carrier + the audio frequency, or the LSB carrier -
the audio frequency. If fldigi is tracking and receiving a CW
signal on the waterfall your transmitted signal will be exactly on the
frequency of the other operator. You probably cannot use your
transceivers CW filter unless that filter can be used with the SSB mode.<br>
<br>
\section qsk_tab_key QSK and the TAB KEY
If you are operating QSK with a separate transmitter / receiver you can
very quickly stop your transmit signal with the TAB key. In
the CW mode only the TAB key causes the program to skip over the remaining
text in the transmit text buffer. The text that is skipped will
be color coded blue. The program remains in the transmit mode
(PTT enabled), but since the buffer is now empty no A2 CW signal is
generated. Code transmission will then restart with the very
next keyboard closure of a valid CW character.
<br>
\section pause_transmit Pausing transmit
The Pause/Break momentarily key stops sending text. Pressing it again
resumes transmission.
<br>
\section abort_transmit Aborting transmit
The Escape key is used to immediately stop text transmission. The Tx buffer
is cleared.
<br>
\section wpm_adjustements WPM adjustment
In CW mode the status bar is changed to include a transmit WPM adjuster. Use
the arrow buttons or the mouse. Mouse wheel up/down changes transmit WPM
by +/- 1. Hold the shift and mouse mouse wheel changes transmit WPM
by +/- 10. The "*" button immediately to the right of the WPM adjuster is
used to toggle between the current and the default transmit WPM.
<br>
The transmit WPM can also be adjusted with three hot keys:
<br>
<ul>
<li>Numeric keypad "+" increases the transmit WPM by 1</li>
<li>Numeric keypad "-" decreases the transmit WPM by 1</li>
<li>Numeric keypad "*" toggles between the selected transmit WPM and the
default transmit WPM</li>
</ul>
The "Default" control on the CW tab sets that default value. If during a
QSO you needed to slow down to give the other op a better chance to
copy what you are sending, just hit the "*" on the numeric keypad and
the CW code will immediately switch to sending CW at the set default
value (18 wpm in this example). Press the "*" again to return to
back to the CW speed that you were previously using.
<br>
Each time the transmit WPM is changed the receive decoder WPM tracking
is reset to the new transmit WPM. This allows you to quickly
force the decoder to a new WPM range.

\section sec_farnsworth Farnsworth keying
You might want to use farnsworth keying to provide a character rate that is
faster than the word per minute rate.<br>
\image html farnsworth.png "Farnworth Timing"
\image latex farnsworth.png "Farnworth Timing" width=5.0in
<br>
Set the F-WPM slider to tthe character rate and enable the Use
Farnsworth timing check box. When the TX WPM is set to a speed
below the Farnsworth value then the character rate will be at the
Farnsworth setting and the word rate will be at the TX WPM rate.
You can also set the TX WPM and F-WPM from within a \ref macro_page.

\section cw_config CW configuration
The \ref cw_configuration_page is easily reached from the Config menu or
by right clicking on the left most entry in the status bar (CW).
<br>
\section sub_prosigns Prosigns
The prosigns are configurable \(see \ref cw_configuration_page \). The
defaults are:
<br>
PROSIGN | KEYBOARD | DISPLAYED AS
:------: | :-------: | :--------:
BT | = | \<BT\>
AA | ~ | \<AA\>
AR | > | \<AR\>
AS | < | \<AS\>
HM | { | \<HM\>
INT | & | \<INT\>
SK | % | \<SK\>
KN | + | \<KN\>
VE | } | \<VE\>
