DE K1EL
When editing a message, a list of buffered commands can be displayed by entering
\?.
Scroll through the list
using the up and down arrows. When a command is found, enter the command letter and it will be added to
the message. This is a fast way to find a buffered command hint and its formatting. To cancel the help
menu, press
ESC
and the command delimiter
\
is removed. Some commands, like
\W
nn require a two digit
parameter. Don’t forget to enter the parameters or the command to be ignored.

List of Buffered Commands
Jump to message (Buffered)
\Jn
where n is a number 1-9 or letter A,B,C. F1-F9 would be
\1
to
\9
, F10 is
\A
, F11 is
\B
, and F12 is
\C
.
Here are two simple examples:
Load Slot F1 with:
CQ CQ \J3
Load Slot F2 with:
QRZ QRZ \J3
Load Slot F3 with:
DE K1EL K
Message F1 will be sent as:
CQ CQ
DE K1EL K
Message F2 will be sent as:
QRZ QRZ DE K1EL K
Jump can be used to make a message loop:
Load Slot F10 with:
CQ CQ CQ DE K1EL K1EL K1EL \JA
After sending
CQ CQ CQ DE K1EL K1EL K1EL
we loop back to the beginning and send it again. This will
repeat forever until either paddle or
DEL
key is pressed. When composing a message like this, be sure to
put a space or delay at the end, otherwise the first letter will be sent after the last with no word space.
Call a message (Buffered)
\ Cn
where n is a number 1-9 or letter A,B,C. F1-F9 would be
\1
to
\9
, F10 is
\A
, F11 is
\B
, and F12 is
\C
.
The call command will jump to the specified message, send that message, and after the message completes
the stream will return to where it was called from. It is more flexible than a jump to message. An example of
this command is:
Load slot F1 with:
\C \C DE \B \B BTU OM KN
Load Slot F11 with:
K1EL
Load slot F12 with:
WA1ABC
Message F1 will play as:
WA1ABC WA1ABC DE K1EL K1EL BTU OM KN
This illustrates a powerful feature; you can build up a message that contains other messages. Messages
can be reused by substituting different callsigns in
F11
and
F12
. By using
F11
and
F12
this way, the built in
exchange feature (
^X
or
ENTER
) can be used as well (see “CTL-X - Insert Exchange Message” on page 9).
Decrement Serial Number (Buffered)
\D
- The five-digit serial number is decremented. If equal to 00000 it is not decremented.
