Kenwood TS-480 manual Changing memory and registered details, CW keying

2.Changing memory and registered details

You can change any registration data from the appropriate window. You use this window when storing new data in memory. Display the frequency you wish to register and press M.IN. Then pick the channel (0-89) you want to write to and press DISP: the memory window (right) will open. This window now allows you to pick split operations. If you wish to switch to split mode, check the TX/End Frequency checkbox and you

can then enter the frequency for the TX station as split memory. By clicking on the box displaying the frequency you can input the desired frequency, and you can also store it. As with ARCP-2000, you can input memory names in this window.

3.CW keying

You can also use ARCP for keying. If you think you may have made a mistake while keying, ARCP-480 allows you to click the Stop button to prevent the message from being sent, although with previous versions of ARCP you could not do this. Also, you can enter special codes (with a few exceptions) from the keyboard.

Since you can now enter BT and other special codes from the keyboard, you do not have to move your hands from the home position during a QSO. Also, the software now allows you to stretch the log window, which is useful when it becomes filled with messages. The window can be closed even during transmission by just pressing the ESC key.

ARCP-480 does not allow direct keying by typing, but for it is a fully practical solution for regular QSO.
