Ok now that iv decided that Im just going to use my 7000 for cw, I have a new question.

Settings for receive are not to bad to setup, and sending on my practice oscillator is getting better but im a little confused on how to get started sending over the air. There are many settings on the radio like full brake, semi brake, and no brake. There are also pitch settings and other misc settings. So where do I start? And also cw enthusiasts seem to have a lingo all of their own with many codes that iv never heard on voice, is there a list of translations somewhere on the net. And no I dont mean "Q" codes. Oh and if anyone knows of a good book to read that will point me in the right direction that would be great. Sorry if Im making a simple operating mode seem so confusing to me.
Unfortunately my elmer learned code and never used it after so he has no clue what im talking about when i ask him a question. I just want to know exactly what im doing before I get on the air.

Thank you all
