Message Memories 

The MFJ-498 has eight 4000 character message memories.  Each memory is 
represented by a function key, "

F1-F8

memory position.  When the MFJ-498 signals the characters "

--.  ---

" or "GO" in 

Morse, it is ready to record the message, which is displayed on the bottom line of the 
LCD readout as it is typed.  At approximately 16 characters before the message 
memory fills, the playback frequency lowers to indicate that memory is short.  
Characters may be removed from memory by using the "

Backspace

"

 

and new 

characters may be entered.  No more than 4000 characters may be stored in any 
message location.  Any attempt to enter additional characters will generate a long, 
low-frequency tone for each character entered.

message, press

.-.-.

the save. 
 
A programmed message can be replayed by pressing the appropriate function key

to indicate which message is sent.  The character "a" is displayed for message 1, 
"

F1

"; "b" for message 2, "

F2

"; "h" for message 8 .

 

 
example:  Select "

Alt-F2

"

.

--. ---

" to indicate readiness.  Type the 

message "AA5MT BEACON BEACON 5 W BEACON."  Press "

Enter

message is stored at memory location "

F2

".  Select "

F2
