Naming Text Messages
The SideKar provides a way to name a message. The name
will then be shown in the message summary screen as a handy
reminder.
To name a message, simply enter the name as the first
characters followed by a colon “:”. Everything to the left of the
colon is the message name and is not sent to the rig.
Everything to the right of the colon will be sent to the rig as text.
It’s recommended to keep the names short, as the space for
the characters used are shared with the characters used for the
message. The longer the name, the less room you will have for
the message.
Example: Call CQ: CQ CQ CQ de KF0UR
Note: If naming a Grab & Go message, the @ symbol to
indicate it is a Grab & Go message, must be placed
immediately after the colon (:).
Correct: GG Macro:@ 599 CO
Incorrect: GG Macro: @ 599 CO
