SECTION I. DESCRIPTION 1. GENERAL. Keyer KY-7/FRT (fig. 1) is a unit designed to adapt any type of keyed radio transmitting equipment to tone-keying operation. The keyer is intended for use with a 500-ohm keying line. This line feeds a keyed tone into the input transformer of the keyer. The transformer has a center tap for simplex control. A keying tone of approximately 1,000 cycles at an input level between — 15 and +10 decibels (6-milliwatt reference level) is required for dependable keying. The keyer provides a keyed negative out put voltage of from 0 to 115 volts. It also contains a polarized keying relay which, controlled by the keyed tone input, can be used to key the associated radio transmitting equipment. TL'3Q93S Figure 1. Keyer KY-7/FRT. 2.
