TEXT Memory
The four channels of CW message memory (up to 50 characters total) may also be programmed using the text-entry
technique. This is somewhat slower than sending the message directly from your keyer paddle, but accuracy of character
spacing is ensured. Example 1: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K} (20 characters)
You may also utilize another powerful feature of the CW Memory Keyer, the sequential Contest Number (“Countup”)
feature. Example 2: 599 10 200 # K} (15 characters)
