Note: If you subsequently decide to use the “Text Memory” technique for memory
storage, please note that the contents of a message stored using keyer puddle input
will not be transferred over when you select “Text Memory technique” on a particular
memory register (the Menu Mode Setting is set to “tyP1”).
TEXT Memory
The five channels of CW message memory (up to 50 characters total) may also be
programmed using a text-entry technique. This technique is somewhat slower than
when you send the message directly from your keyer paddle, but accuracy of character
spacing is ensured.
