CW Profiles ?

Wondering how folks have their Flex's set up for optimum CW ? Do you save as a CW Profile(s) ? If so can you share your setups?

I use an external memory keyer that I built probably 20 years ago. So I select that instead of the internal keyer. I run full break-in so I changed the TX delay to 25 to keep from hot switching my amp. On phone I select that I am using a Heil headset with an HC-6 element. Other things I do to help with weak signals might be to increase or in some cases decrease the pre amp. I can choose a narrower CW filter. As soon as harvest is done on the field behind my house I will **** a Beverage aimed at EU. When that is done I might choose the listening antenna to hear. Although once in a while I can hear better on my 160m Inverted L then I can on the listening antenna. The APF has adjustments and tweaking that has let me make a couple of contacts that were only a hair above ESP. I normally have the DX station in my left ear and the pileup in my right. But if the DX station is very weak I will take the slider on "A" and move it over. Keeping the pileup in my right ear I will set it so the DX station is in both ears. Wie two inputs your brain has more signal to deal with. These kinds of things on my older radios and mediocre to poor antennas got me to 285 confirmed before I got my amp. I retired 5 years ago and spent a year looking for a good place to live and build an antenna farm. See QRZ. I'm having the time of my life.1

To add something else, I adjust the equalizer only RX and set it as follows: 500 Hz and 1 KHz to + 10dB and the rest to -10dB

Ignacio - just tried that and a super idea. For my ears I also put the 1k at +10
thanks

Stephen - sri - red highlights were confusing, I wasn't referring to the DXEP, question was regarding settings for lo and hi cut Tx filter people are using for CW

Keith - how do you change the filter latency? Couldn't find in the manual.
tnx Paul0 -
If you read the manual. I'm looking at version 2.49 SmartSDR user manual.
The transmit bandwidth is for a SSB signal. Not for CW.

James - thank you for pointing that out. Going back to manual that is exactly what it says. So much for that question :0))

It is done from the filters tab under radio setup. I turn "auto" off and slide the CW latency slider all the way to the left.
