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)
