Creating and Sending Text Messages
The SideKar Decoder Edition has 20 memory locations for either
text messages or rig macros. Any of the 20 can be used for either.
Each of the 20 text messages or rig macros can be 80
characters each. As a text message, they can be used for
“canned” text, such as calling CQ, “my name is...”, contest
exchanges (599 CO), etc.
The first 10 messages (1-10) are stored and sent using the
function keys,
F1 to F10 . The second 10 messages (11-20)
are stored and sent using the function keys, Alt-F1 to Alt-F10 .
Creating or Editing a Message:
You can create and edit messages and rig macros from your
PC by using the QRPworks Message Management Utility
program, available free on the QRPworks.com website (click
on Support).
It allows you to define 200 messages/macros in 10 named sets,
with each set containing 20 messages/macros. You can save
the sets on your PC and download a selected set of 20
messages to the SideKar
Decoder Edition all at once. Using
the Message Management Utility is the fastest way to create
and save a number of messages.
Alternatively, you can use the SideKar Decoder Edition
keyboard as follows:
•
In the normal mode (Status LED is off), press F12 .
The Status LED will now be flashing slowly
indicating you are in the Edit mode. The screen will
prompt you to press a key
F1 through F10 or Alt-F1
through Alt-F10.
