Editing of the parameter is concluded either when you press the right button (exit), or when no
more characters are available for editing; for example, if you filled up the chosen Message
memory.
It is also possible to edit a text parameter entirely with the buttons and rotary encoder, though this
is usually a slower way to edit text parameters. Owners of the QRP Labs Ultimate3S (or earlier)
QRSS/WSPR transmitter kits will already be familiar with this style of editing text.
The text parameter supports all of the characters which the Message keyer can encode, which is
the same as the CW decoder can decode. Specifically, A to Z, 0 to 9, Space, then punctuation
characters / \ ? . , (note, the break character \ appears at the moment as the Japanese yen
character ¥ - this will be fixed in a future firmware version).
The following characters/symbols have special functions.
Insert:
Use this symbol to insert a character in the text. Find this character using the rotary
encoder, then press the left button to activate it. All the characters to the right of the cursor
position are shifted right one position, including the character which was originally in the
current position.
Backspace (delete):
If you select this character as the current character using the rotary
encoder, then when you press the left button, the current character is deleted and the cursor
moves back left one position.
Delete all:
If selected as the current character, pressing the left button has the effect of
deleting the entire message, starting again at the left of the screen. There is n
o “undo”, so
use with caution!
Enter Right (finished):
The behaviour of this symbol is the same as Enter, except that it
preserves all the text, including the text to the right of the cursor. It simply saves the whole
line.
Enter (finished):
If selected as the current character using the rotary encoder, pressing the
left button is used to finish editing the setting. The setting is saved, and you leave editing
mode. Note that the text that is saved is only the text to the left of the Enter symbol. If you
select this symbol and press the left button when you are not at the furthest right position of
the message, then everything right of your position is deleted.
You can also move the cursor backwards and forwards within the text being edited, by pressing
and holding the centre button, then turning the rotary encoder. This moves the cursor position
within the text parameter.
