Embedded Commands
While saving messages you may use embedded commands for special features. To use an em-
bedded command simply store the two character, embedded command within your message.
/N Inserts a serial number into a message. All nines are sent as "N" and zeros are sent as "T".
A serial number is automatically incremented each time it is sent. To decrement the serial
number, press the serial number Decrement menu button. A new serial number can be
saved by using the serial number store menu feature.
Example: YOU ARE CONTACT NR /N
/D Decrements the serial number. This feature allows a serial numbers to be sent twice in one
message.
Example: UR RST 559 559 SN /N /D SN /N
/L Create a message loop (Message Repeat). Always put the /L at the end of the message.
Any characters after the /L will not be repeated.
Example: BEACON AA5CS 5 W /L
/P Inserts a timed pause into a message. This command is followed by 4 numbers in xx mi-
nutes xx seconds format.
The command may be in either / Pxxxx or /Pxxxx format.
Example: TIMEOUT 1 HOUR /P6000 TIMEOUT 1.5 MIN / P0090 TIMEOUT 1 H 40MIN 39 S
/P9999
/# # = 1 - 8 inserts memory message number # into message (Message Call). This command
allows you to include any other message into another message. A message may not call an-
other message that contains an embedded message call. If there is no message saved for
that number nothing will play at the /#. If you call a message that loops, only the looped
message will repeat after the first play.
Example:
message 1: CQ CQ CQ CQ
message 2: /1 DE KB5VKY
Sending message 2 plays CQ CQ CQ DE KB5VKY
/S Can be added into messages to insert an extra word space.
// To store a / in a message you must use the embedded command //.
Commands can be combined in messages:
Set the serial number to 0030.
