receive text, and is set to receiving the text each time the
SideKar is powered up.
Also, the SideKar removes extra spaces between
characters, so more useful text is seen on the screen.
Note: Pressing Alt-T to disable received text and again to re-
enable it will clear the screen and scroll back memory.
Scrolling Back
Once the top line of the display is scrolled off of the screen, it is
saved. Actually, 10 of the most recent lines are saved.
1. To be able to view this saved text, you must first enter
the Freeze/Scroll mode. To do so, while in the real-time
receiving mode (LED is off), press Alt-F (Freeze) or tap
a button if it is set for the Freeze mode. When shipped
the SideKar / SideKar Plus left button is set to Freeze
when tapped. Two things will then happen:
a. The Orange LED will turn on, indicating the
SideKar is in the Freeze/Scroll mode
b. The text on the screen is now frozen, not
changing.
Note: even though the screen is frozen, behind the scenes the
SideKar is still collecting text from the rig. So when you go
back to normal, real-
time receiving, you’ll see the most recent
text received.
To scroll back to view the previously saved lines (up to 10),
while in the Freeze/Scroll mode (Orange LED is on), HOLD the
button assigned to Freeze. The SideKar will scroll back line by
line, at approximately 1 line per second, until you get to the end
