Log data may be entered by the user. Depending on the user setup (CONFIG) for “LOGGING TYPE,” there are
two logging modes: In the CONTEST mode, the operator just enters the callsign, signal report, and the REM
("remarks") fields, and the Date/Time/Band/Mode are all entered automatically. In the NORMAL mode, addi-
tional information may be entered, such as the Country, City, and Name. Up to 500 stations may store into a file.
Please enter the log data in accordance with the example in the illustration.
Advice
: Before you start logging, we recommend that you perform the CONFIG SETTING MODE procedure
within the User setup (CONFIG) protocol.
1.
Referring to the Figure
d
on page 25, use your
keyboard to enter the callsign in the CALL field.
Now press [
ENTER
].
2.
The callsign will be checked against the previous
entries to see if it is a duplicate; if so, the
“
CALLSIGN REPETITION CHECKLIST
” will
open, listing this and any other duplicates. Dur-
ing the QSO, if you wish to delete the callsign
and other information for this line, just press
[
ESC
].
3.
Enter all desired data in accordance with the ex-
ample in the picture. When finished, push [
EN-
TER
] on the keyboard.
Note
: In order to ensure preservation of log data, be
sure to Save the data frequently. It is always a good
idea to maintain a paper archive copy of log data.
Vertex Standard specifically disclaims responsibility
for any liability arising from the loss of log data.

Advice
: When entering the Zone via the ITUZR field,
pressing the [
ENTER
] key will move you to the CQ
Zone (CQZR); from there, use the [
X
] key to navi-
gate back to the ITUZR field, if desired.
When doing input of the PREFIX, CQZR (or ITUZR),
ENTITY, and QRA data, please set the “LOGGING
TYPE” to “NORMAL” beforehand. This will allow you
to move from column to column by pressing the [
EN-
TER
] key. In addition, when (for example) entering
the PREFIX and pressing [
ENTER
], the PREFIX
SELECT LIST will appear, and the ENTITY and
CQZR (or ITUZR) will automatically be entered.
