CHAPTER 4 PAGE 25
1. Connect the tape recorder audio input (microphone or auxiliary input) to the AFSK OUT - TAPE
connector on the CWR6850.
2. Select ASCII and 110 BAUD on the CWR6850.
3. Make sure that your desired messages are stored in all 6 HERE IS memories.
4. Put tape in the recorder and start recording.
5. Type CTRL-S and RETURN.
6. Tones will be transmitted to the tape recorder (listen to them by adjusting the VOLUME slide
control).
7. When the "deedle-deedle" stops and you hear a steady tone, stop the tape recorder; the HERE
IS memory contents are now stored on your tape.
To load the HERE IS memories from a tape you have made previously, use the following procedure
(for a demonstration, turn the CWR6850 off and back on to erase the previous text):
1. Connect the tape recorder audio output (speaker jack, usually) to the AF IN - TAPE rear panel
jack.
2. Select ASCII, 110 BAUD, and TAPE (on RX/TAPE switch) on the CWR6850.
3. Rewind the tape to the beginning of the previously recorded section.
4. Type CTRL-L and RETURN (see reverse video "L" on status line).
5. Play the tape into the CWR6850 (listen to tones using INPUT slide control to adjust the vol-
ume).
6. The reverse video "L" will go out and the tone frequency will be constant when the loading is
complete.
7. Select page 3 to be sure that the messages have all been loaded.
*** CAUTION ***
Do NOT use the CTRL-L RETURN command sequence unless you are intending to load the HERE IS
memories from tape. Control of the CWR6850 is passed to the tape input data until loading is com-
pleted (indicated with an ASCII STX character placed on the tape during the save recording). The
CWR6850 will appear to be "locked-up" when expecting a memory load from tape and NO further
operations may be made until the proper end command is received!
