CW CONVENIENCE FEATURES

CONTEST MEMORY KEYER (USING THE OPTIONAL FH-2 REMOTE CONTROL KEYPAD)

TEXT Memory

The five channels of CW message memory (up to 50 characters total) may also be programmed using a text-entry tech- nique. This technique is somewhat slower than when you send the message directly from your keyer paddle, but accuracy of character spacing is ensured.

Example 1: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K} (20 characters)

And we will utilize another powerful feature of the CW Memory Keyer, the sequential Contest Number (“Countup”) feature.

Example 2: 599 10 200 # K} (15 characters)
