Hello - I have a 2980 and want to lower the key to 1/4 watt. I also want to keep the key at 4 or more watts when I turn the Rf power up. The problem is when I turn VR13 down to get 1/4 watt I can only get about 2 watts when the RF power is turned up. I know you can adjust the low and high keys with some radios. What can I do to get a very low key and also a high key?
Thanks - Lady Red

the only thing i can tell you is install a swing kit copper sells a good one,although i made my own for a 29 ltd,it keys less than a watt and swings 25.the one copper sells should work for what you want.

JYD - The swing is fine with the radio. I just want to have a very low DEAD KEY and then have a very high DEAD Key with the radio. If I set VR13 to give me a low key when I turn the RF power up I can only get 2 watts dead key with swing.
