Note:
You can play back a message to listen to the Embedded
function by simply pressing
[CH 1]
, or
[CH 2]
, or
[CH 3]
, or
[CH 4]
for the channel that contains the Embedded function.
Serial Number Options
The “Zd” command selects 1 of 10 options for
sending zeros and nines in a contest serial number.
Zeros may be replaced by “O” or “T”, nines replaced
by “N”, and leading zeros suppressed.
Note:
For numbers less than 1000, the first zero is always
suppressed.
This completes the “CW TRANSMISSION” section.
Refer to “OPERATING AIDS” beginning on page 44 for
information about additional useful functions for
operating.

The operating speed is set to
dd wpm, where dd are two
digits in the range 6 ~ 60.
Increases the operating speed
by d wpm, where d is a single
digit in the range 0 ~ 9.
Decreases the operating
speed by d wpm, where d is a
single digit in the range 0 ~ 9.
Sets the ultra-speed mode for
a message. Range is 70 ~
990 words per minute, where
dd are two digits representing
the first two numbers of the
speed setting desired. For
example, "07" is 70 wpm, "77"
is 770 wpm. This command is
used primarily for meteor
scatter work. Note that
Weighting (W) and
Compensation (K) settings are
disabled during Ultraspeed
message transmission.
Message #1 is played followed
by resumption of the current
message. If the current
message is #1, a continuous
loop is created. The same is
true for the other messages.
Embedded Functions
Certain functions can be embedded within character
messages. The command strings are prefixed by a
“/”, and are entered as a separate word. The letters
following a “/” that are contained within a word are
not interpreted as an embedded function. For
example, the keyer understands that
“WD6DJY/VE7” does not include an embedded
command since “/VE7” is not sent as a separate
word. These commands must be stored in CH 1 ~
CH 4; they cannot be manually sent.

Resume
Message play pauses for manual
text insertion. One or more
words may be inserted via the
paddle. Once paddle input has
begun, the break is canceled
when inactivity exceeding a word
space is detected, and the
interrupted message resumes.
A break may also be aborted by
pressing any button, causing the
corresponding message to play
immediately.
Decrements contest serial
number by 1.
The normal 7-element interword
space is modified to 3+d, where
d is a digit in the range 0 ~ 9. It
is used to exaggerate inter-
character or interword spacing.
For example, a call like WØEJ
can be entered with slight
lengthening of the space
between the "E" and the "J" for
emphasis, making it easier to
copy. Note that /G0 yields a
normal character space, while
/G4 yields a normal word space.
The current value of a contest
serial number is played. Its
value is then automatically
increased by 1. See "Serial
Number Options".
A speed-independent pause of
d.d seconds is inserted, where
dd are two digits in the range 00
~ 99. For example, /P35 will
result in a delay of 3.5 seconds.
Pauses longer than 9.9 seconds
are obtained by using
consecutive commands that total
the value desired.
Stops playback to allow hand-
sent entry. When manual keying
is completed, press the button
for the message being played
and the message will resume
transmitting. Multiple "/R"
commands are permitted.
