command to restore normal CW operation when the message is completed.

Although it’s possible to send QRSS directly from the keyboard by entering the
/Qn
command before a
string, the most efficient use of QRSS is to format a specific QRSS message.
Reset Speed (Buffered)
\R
– This will cancel a
\S
,
\H
, or
\Q
command and return to the current default WPM speed.
Change Transmit Speed in WPM (Buffered)
\S<nn>
- Change Speed to nn WPM (nn = 05 to 99) two digits must be entered as in 08 for 8 WPM
Here is a message with multiple speed changes:
\S25 CQ CQ DE \S15K1EL K1EL will send CQ CQ DE at 25 WPM and K1EL K1EL at 15 WPM
Insert a delay (Buffered)
\W<nn>
- Wait for nn Seconds (nn = 01 to 99) two digits must be entered as in 05 for 5 seconds
Here is a simple looping message beacon using key down and wait:
VVV \K05 DE K1EL \W60 \J1
Three V's, a 5 second key down,
DE K1EL,
with a wait of 60 seconds will repeat until cancelled with
DEL
or
paddle press. Note the placement of spaces around the key down to separate it from the adjacent text.
Delays longer than 99 seconds can be specified by using the
WM<nn>
variation which will pause for nn
minutes. The maximum wait time allowed is 20 minutes.
Easy Beacon with exact timing (Buffered)
\Z<nn><str>
- str will be sent at the beacon rate designated by nn in seconds. The time between beacons is
set by the value nn and is independent of the time it takes to send str. A
\J
command is not needed at the
end of the message. Two digits must be entered, as in 06 for 6 seconds.
DEL
or paddle press cancels.
A disadvantage of formatting a repeating beacon with /W and /J commands is that the time it takes to send
the string is added to the wait time. It takes a lot of trial and error to get an exact beacon interval.
Easy beacon doesn’t include the string time,it will repeat at whatever time you enter in the command.
Beacon delays longer than 99 seconds can be set by using the
ZM<nn>
variation of this command:
ZM<nn>
Sets the beacon time to nn minutes. The maximum time allowed is 20 minutes.
Message Key Display
Message function keys are displayed on the LCD display in buffered command format. In other words,
pressing F1 will insert
\1
into the transmit buffer. The expanded message can be viewed in the Fast Tx View
window by pressing the Windows key.
More Message Examples:
Send a string with an incrementing value:
Load F5 with:
COUNT IS \N, \W05\J5
Assuming the serial number has been preset to 100 (by configuration menu), the F5 message will be sent as
follows with a 5 second delay after each comma:
COUNT IS 100, COUNT is 101, COUNT IS 102, COUNT IS 103….
A message that runs at two different speeds and then resets to the original speed
\S10SLOW SPEED \S20FAST SPEED\RDEFAULT
