2. Press and hold the [SELECT] knob for two seconds to activate the Contest Memory
Keyer. Indicates one of following indication in Multi-Display Window on the
display; “rEC1”, “rEC2”, “rEC3”, “rEC4”, “rEC5”, “PLY1”, “PLY2”, “PLY3”, “PLY4”,
and “PLY5”.
3. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select the CW Memory Register (“PLY1” through
“PLY5”) which you wish to transmit.
4. Press the [SELECT] knob momentarily. A “PLAY” icon will appear in the display
and transmit the programmed message on the air.
Note: If you subsequently decide to use the “Text Memory” technique for memory
storage, please note that the contents of a message stored using keyer paddle input will
not be transferred over when you select “Text Memory technique” on a particular
memory register (the Menu Mode Setting is set to “tyP1”).
Transmitting in the Beacon Mode
It is possible to transmit, repetitively in a “Beacon” mode, any message programmed
either via paddle input or via the “Text” input method. The time delay between
message repeats may be set anywhere between 1 and 255 seconds via Menu item “016
KEY BEACON”. If you do not wish the message to repeat in a “Beacon” mode, please
set this Menu item to “OFF.”
To transmit the message:
1. Press and hold the [SELECT] knob for two seconds to activate the Contest Memory
Keyer. Indicates one of following indication in Multi-Display Window on the
display; “rEC1”, “rEC2”, “rEC3”, “rEC4”, “rEC5”, “PLY1”, “PLY2”, “PLY3”, “PLY4”,
and “PLY5”.
2. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select the CW Memory Register (“PLY1” through
“PLY5”) which the Beacon message is stored.
3. Press the [SELECT] knob. Repetitive transmission of the Beacon message will
begin. Press one of these keys once more to halt the Beacon transmissions.
TEXT Memory
The five channels of CW message memory (up to 50 characters total) may also be
programmed using a text-entry technique. 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
