Creating or Editing a Rig Macro:
You can create and edit messages and rig macros from your
PC by using the QRPworks Message Management Utility
program, available free on the QRPworks.com website (click
on Support).
It allows you to define 200 messages/macros in 10 named sets,
with each set containing 20 messages/macros. You can save
the sets on your PC and download a selected set of 20
messages to the SideKar
Decoder Edition
all at once.
Alternatively, you can use the SideKar
Decoder Edition
keyboard as follows:
-
In the normal mode (Status LED is off), press
F12
or
ALT-Z
. The LED will now be flashing slowly indicating
you are in the Edit mode. The screen will prompt you to
press a key
F1
through
F10 or Alt-F1
through
Alt-F10.
o
If no macro has been stored previously, you will see
<empty….just start typing>
o
If a message or macro has been previously stored, it
will be displayed. Edit or add any additional text.
See the “
Editing a Stored Text Message or Macro
section in this manual for a list of editing options.
Macros must start with a period (
.
) as the very first
character. This tells the SideKar
Decoder Edition
it
is a rig macro and not a text message.
Example:
.
20M:FA00014012000;
Where:
.
- indicates it is a macro
