Operating Manual

Message Memory

Five memory channels capable of retaining 50 characters total are provided (using the PARIS standard for characters and word length).

Example: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K (19 characters)

Terminology:

PARIS Word Length: By convention in the Amateur industry (utilized by ARRL and others), the length of one “word” of CW is defined as the length of the Morse Code characters spelling the word “PARIS.” This character (dot/dash/space) length is used for the rigorous definition of code speed in “words per minute.”

Storing a Message into Memory

1.Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.

2.Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select the CW Memory Register which you wish to store the message; for now, we are just selecting the message entry technique (Keyer entry).

Advice: Press the [SELECT] knob to toggle the Menu item display between “Menu Item Number & Group Name” and “Menu Function”.

3.Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to set the selected CW Memory Register to “tyP2.” If you want to use your keyer paddle for message entry on all memories, set all five Menu items (#019 ~ 023) to “tyP2.”
