M - Load Callsign
: Use this command to load a stored callsign. It works just like a message entry and the
destination is the currently enabled user slot. Each user slot has one unique callsign. Since the callsign is treated
like any other message, embedded commands can be included if desired. The only way to play back a callsign is
by embedding the
/M
command in a message.
N - Select Cut Number for number 9
: When enabled, an
N
will be substituted for the number nine when
sending a serial number. Command response: an
A
is sent when enabled, an
N
is sent when disabled.
O- Toggle SO2R Mode:
When SO2R is enabled normal PTT is turned off and instead PTT1 is used to signal
which output port is active. When port 1 is active, PTT1 is asserted (radio 1 selected) when port 2 is active, PTT1
is not asserted (radio 2 selected) Note that the PTT1 output is open collector and is on when asserted.
Command response: an A is sent when enabled, an N is sent when disabled.
P - Toggle PTT Mode
: The user can choose whether to use automatic PTT while keying. This is a toggle
command and after it is entered, WK will respond with an
A
for PTT enabled, or
N
for PTT disabled. Automatic
PTT is disabled if you wanted to control PTT manually by embedded command.
R [nn nn] - Set Speed Pot minimum and maximum
: After the command is entered WK will prompt for
two values, the minimum WPM and the maximum WPM. An error will be flagged if the minimum value entered is
greater than the maximum, if the minimum value is less than 5 WPM. Maximum WPM allowed is 99. If the
speeds are valid, WK responds with an
R
, otherwise a
?
S - Preserve Settings in EEPROM:
will respond with a letter
R
to signify that settings were saved
successfully.
T - Select Cut Number for Zero
: When enabled, a
T
will be substituted for the number zero when sending a
serial number. An
A
response means this cut is enabled, an
N
response means it is disabled.
U - Swap Users:
WK provides two complete user configurations, each with a unique callsign. Both
message banks are available to both users. This allows a universal set of messages to be created that will
work with either user. For example a message like
CQ CQ CQ DE /M /M K
will send the selected user’s
callsign. In response to this command a single dit is echoed when user 1 is selected and two dits when user
2 is selected.
V - Voltage Readout
: WK will measure the current supply voltage and send it in Morse sidetone. For example
a voltage of 4.52 will be sent as 4r52 with the r indicating the decimal point.
X - Toggle paddle swap (Exchange dit/dah inputs)
: WK will respond with a letter
A
to signify when
paddle swap is enabled and an
N
when turned off.
Standalone Message Functionality
Messages are loaded by pressing and holding the command button until WK responds with an
R.
Then press the
message pushbutton of the memory slot you wish to enter. When WK is ready to accept a new message it will
respond with an
E
. If you wait too long, WK will respond with a
?
and you have to start over. In some keyers,
such as WK, only four pushbuttons are provided, messages 5 and 6 are accessed by pressing two pushbuttons
in the following sequence after the
R
is echoed:
Press and hold either message button 2 or 3. (this specifies message 5 or 6 respectively)
Press the command pushbutton.
Release both push buttons.
(Message 5 and 6 can be played in a similar manner by first pressing and holding pushbutton 2 or 3, then
pressing the command pushbutton, and finally releasing both)
After WK responds with an
E
, enter the message directly on the paddles at a steady rate, making sure to leave
proper space between letters. To insert a word space simply pause for longer than a word space and WK will
respond with an
E
to signify a word space insertion. You can force a wordspace insertion by entering di-di-dah-
dah (
IM
). This allows you to put a wordspace at the beginning of a message or insert more than one wordspace
in a row. A ½ letterspace pad character can be inserted by entering di-di-dah-dah-dit (
IG
).
