REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

1. Contest Number Memory

The [#] key allows storage of a message of up to

20 characters in length. Within this message, a con- test sequential serial number may be imbedded dur- ing the programming process by sending “???” (three Question Marks) in the place where the contest num- ber is desired. The Question Marks should be sepa- rated only by a letter space, not by a word space. Thus, to send “5NN 001, 5NN 002,” and so forth, you send “5NN ???” (not “5NN ? ? ?”) during memory storage.

A contest number may only be imbedded in the memory location activated by [#] key.

You can manually increment or decrement the num- ber (in case you need to repeat or “catch up” to the correct contest number) by pushing the [#UP] key to increment, or the [#DWN] key to decrement.

To reset an arbitrary contest number (in the middle of the contest, when you may have been using a differ- ent transceiver on a different band, for example), se- lect menu selection 7-3. Now rotate the Main Dial to se- lect the next-to-be-used contest number, and press [ENT] to save your new number and exit.

To abbreviate certain numbers in the contest ex- change, select menu selection 7-6. In this Menu area, substitutions of Morse letters for (longer) numbers can be accomplished. For example, the keyer may be com- manded to send “T” for “Zero,” “A” for “One,” “U” for “Two,” and “N” for “Nine” while leaving all other num- bers in their normal (longer) formats.

See the chart below for details of the selections available.

To select between three-digit contest numbers (e.g. “599001”) and four digit contest numbers (e.g. “5991234”), select menu selection 7-6, then rotate the Sub Dial to the final selection, which is the number of playback digits. Select the desired number of digits, then press [ENT] to save the setting and exit. Note that, if you begin with a three-digit contest number, the MARK-VFT-1000MPwill automatically switch over to four-digit numbering after QSO #999, so it generally is best to select three-digit numbering.

2. CQ or ID Memory

The [ID] key allows storage and recall of any mes- sage of up to 20 characters in length. Because of the convenient location of [ID] key on the FH-1Remote Control Keypad option, this memory location is most ideally suitable for your main “CQ TEST” message or for your callsign (for one-touch use in a pile-up, for example).

3. User Message Memories 1 - 4

Keys [CH 1] ~ [CH 4] allow storage and recall of messages of up to 50 characters in length. These memory locations are more suitable for longer mes- sages which cannot be programmed into the “Contest Number” or “ID” memory locations.

4. Message Storage

The [STO] key is used in the message memoriza- tion process. Push [STO] followed by one of the mes- sage playback keys ([#], [ID], or [CH 1] ~ [CH 4]), then send (on your keyer paddle) the message to be stored, then press the [STO] key to terminate the memory stor- age process.

5. Message Monitor

(Playback without Transmitting)

The [MONI] key may be used to review the con- tents of a memory location, or to determine the next- to-be-used contest number, without transmitting the message over the air.

To use this feature, the [MONI] key on the front panel of the transceiver must be turned off. The reason for this is that the [MONI] key activates the RF keying moni- tor, which requires a transmitted signal in order to func- tion.

To check the contents of the “ID” memory slot, for example, press [MONI] then [ID]. You will hear the message which currently is stored in the “ID” slot in the speaker or headphones. To check to see what the next-to-be-sent contest number is (in case you’ve for- gotten, etc.), press [MONI] then [#]. The contents of the “#” memory slot will be played (e.g. “599388 BK”), and the contest number will not increment after play-
