Default: OFF
Mode: Baudot, ASCII, AMTOR, PACTOR and Morse Host: WO
OFF Inputted characters are sent directly to the transmitter.
ON
Inputted characters are held in the transmit buffer until a space, (
RETURN
),
LF
, (
TAB
),
RECEIVE
,
CWID , ENQ or + ? character(s) is typed.
Use
WORDOUT to choose whether or not you can edit while entering text for transmission.
With
WORDOUT ON
, each character you type is held in a buffer until you enter a space, (
RETURN
),
LF
, ENQ
character ($05 [ CTRL-E] ) or the +? . You can edit or delete words before the transmit buffer’s contents are sent to
the radio as long as you haven’t entered pressed (
SPACE
), (
RETURN
) ,
LF
, etc.
With
WORDOUT OFF
, each character you type is sent to the radio just as you typed it, without any delay. Also,
the backspace character is transmitted in Baudot, ASCII, AMTOR and PACTOR modes. With WORDOUT ON ,
pressing the backspace key cancels out the preceding character and neither are transmitted.
In Baudot and AMTOR, the backspace character is transmitted as a “?” since there’s no backspace in those modes.
In ASCII the backspace character is transmitted, but the destination station must be able to pass it. AEA products
should have
MFILTER
set to zero to allow backspaces to print.
