■ Storing CW Messages
The two modes available for storing messages are
Character mode and Real Time mode. Each
message may be as long as you want provided that
the total of all four messages including spaces does
not exceed about 220 characters. You must use the
internal keyer to use the message storage function.
If you happen to turn OFF the power while storing a
message, the last letters input may be deleted. You
cannot store messages if you are operating split
mode (transmit mode different than receive mode).
Using Character mode (default):
This mode uses message memory most efficiently.
Each Morse character uses one byte of memory.
When you play back your recorded messages, they
will be sent with precise intercharacter and interword
spacing.
1 Press [CH 1] or [CH 2] or [CH 3] or [CH 4] for
approximately two seconds until you hear a tone.
• The keyer will send the letter “C”. This stands
for Character mode.
• If the keyer sends “R” (for Real Time), you
must switch to Character mode by using the
Function mode {page 36}.
2 Send the first word of your message then pause.
• The keyer will send the letter “I” indicating it
has accepted your word.
3 Repeat Step 2 pausing to hear the “I” before
sending the next word until all words of your
message are entered.
• If you make a sending mistake, send seven or
more dits to signal an error, then wait for the
keyer to respond with the last correct word.
You can then send the next word that you
want in the message. Each time that you
send the 7-dit error signal, you erase one
more word.
4 Press the same button as pressed in Step 1.
Using Real Time mode:
Real Time mode captures exactly what you send
without altering your spacing. This mode cannot use
Embedded Functions {page 37}. Also, you cannot
correct words by using the 7-dit error signal as in
Character mode.
Before beginning, switch to Real Time mode by
using the Function mode {page 36}.
1 Press [CH 1] or [CH 2] or [CH 3] or [CH 4] for
approximately two seconds until you hear a tone.
• The keyer will send the letter “R”. This stands
for Real Time mode.
2 Send your entire message.
3 Press the same button as pressed in Step 1.
•Message recording begins at the moment the first
character is sent, and continues until this step is
completed. Any pause between the last
character and this step is recorded as part of the
message.
■ CW Message Playback
Messages may be transmitted using the VOX
function or manual TX/RX switching. The procedure
below uses the VOX function. Simply tap the paddle
at any time to stop a message while it is playing
back, or press any two of [CH 1], [CH 2], [CH 3], or
[CH 4] to stop the message without transmitting an
extra character. Resuming playback after such an
interruption replays the message from the beginning.
Switching OFF the power while playing back a
message could delete the message. You cannot
play back messages if you are operating split mode
(transmit mode different than receive mode).
To check a message without transmitting:
1 Press [VOX] to switch OFF the VOX function.
2 Press the memory channel button ([CH 1] or
[CH 2] or [CH 3] or [CH 4]) that contains the
message that you want to check.
• The message plays.
•To play back up to 8 messages, press the
corresponding memory channel buttons in
sequence during playback.
To transmit a message:
1 Press [VOX] to switch ON the VOX function.
2 Press the memory channel button ([CH 1] or
[CH 2] or [CH 3] or [CH 4]) that contains the
message that you want to transmit.
•The message is transmitted.
•To transmit up to 8 messages, press the
corresponding memory channel buttons in
sequence during playback.
The “Q” Function command {page 36} allows you to
queue several messages to form a longer message.
Example:
•“Q” Function status: ON
• Channel 1 contents: “CQ”
• Channel 2 contents: “de DFØTK”
In this example, pressing the button sequence
[CH 1], [CH 1], [CH 1], [CH 2] would send “CQ CQ
CQ de DFØTK”.
