2nd branch: User presses a message button to play a message
3rd branch: User dual-presses CMD+PB4 to cancel the message entirely.
Here’s a set of two messages that will illustrate one way the
/P
pause command can be used.
In slot 2 enter:
CQ TEST DE K1EL K /P UR NR/N QSL?/P
In slot 3 enter:
UR NR /D/N QSL?
When you press PB 2, the message in slot 2 will send CQ and then pause to let you listen for a reply. If there is
no reply, hit message PB 2 again to repeat the CQ. If there is a reply, enter the station’s callsign and WK will
automatically continue, send the serial number, and then pause again. If the station needs a repeat of the serial
number press PB 3 to play the message in slot 3. Since the serial number is incremented after the
/N
command
in message 2, you need to pre-decrement it in order to send the correct number. Message 3 can be repeated
until the station acknowledges the exchange. At that time press PB2 to start the whole process again.
WK supports two alternate sending formats. They are selected by embedded commands in a message. QRSS
is extremely slow CW for VLF work, and HSCW is extremely fast CW typically used for meteor scatter QSOs.
Here are examples of each:
QRSS:
/K10/ Q2EL/2
Key down for 10 seconds followed by EL at QRSS6 rate then repeat.
HSCW:
/H3K1EL K1EL K1EL K1EL K1EL K1EL K1EL /1
Callsign in slot 1 is repeated at 3000 lpm
