Naming Text Messagess
The SideKar
Decoder Edition
provides a way to name a
message. The name will then be shown in the message
summary screen as a handy reminder.
To name a message, simply enter the name as the first
characters followed by a colon
“:”. Everything to the left of the
colon is the message name and is not sent to the rig.
Everything to the right of the colon will be sent to the rig as text
and transmitted.
It’s recommended to keep the names short, as the space for
the characters used are shared with the 80 characters used for
the message. The longer the name, the less room you will
have for the message.
Example: Call CQ: CQ CQ CQ de KF0UR
Note: If naming a Grab & Go message, the @ symbol to
indicate it is a Grab & Go message, must be placed
immediately after the colon (:).
Correct: GG Macro:@ 599 CO
Incorrect: GG Macro: @ 599 CO
