Text Memory
The five channels of CW message memory (up to 50 characters each) may also be
programmed using a text-entry technique. This method is somewhat slower than sending
the message directly from the keyer paddle, but accuracy of character spacing is ensured.
Be sure to enter the character “}” at the end of the text message.
Example 1:
CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K} (20 characters)
The sequential Contest Number (“Count up”) feature is another powerful feature that may
be utilized within the CW Memory Keyer by entering the # symbol.
Example 2:
599 10 200 # K} (15 characters)
