CW Identifier Setup
The ARTS™ feature includes a CW identifier, as discussed previously. Every ten minutes
during ARTS™ operation, the radio can be instructed to send “DE (your callsign) K” if
this feature is enabled. The callsign field may contain up to 6 characters.
Here’s how to program the CW Identifier:
1.
Press the [
F
] key, then press the [
LOW
(
LOCK
)
SET
] key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 11:
CW WRT
.
3.
Press the [
F
] key momentarily to display any previously-stored
callsign.
4.
Press the [
F
] key again to
clear
any previous callsign.
5.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the first letter/number of your
callsign, then press the [
F
] key momentarily to save the first
letter/number and move on to the next character.
6.
Repeat the previous step, as many times as necessary, to com-
plete your callsign. If you make a mistake, press the [
(
MHz
)]
key to move back to the previous letter/number’s slot, then re-
select the correct letter/number.
7.
When you have finished entering your entire callsign and it con-
tains less than 6 characters, press and hold in the [
F
] key for one
second to confirm the callsign. (if you callsign has exactly 6
characters, you do not need to press and hold in [
F
] in this step).

switch to save the settings and exit to normal operation.
9.
Press the [
F
] key, then press the [

] key to enter the Set mode again.

DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 10:

] key momentarily, then rotate the
DIAL
knob to set
this Item to “

” (to enable the CW ID function).
12. Press the

switch to save the settings and exit to normal
operation.
