The Quick Memory
The quick memory as part of the RAM is mainly used to store the callsign of your radio partner. By pressing CTRL the quick memory becomes active and the Scroll-Lock-LED indicates programming mode. Now write the call or some other text and terminate your input with SHIFT, CapsLock or CTRL which will bring up the following effects:
| CTRL DL6JAN CTRL: |
| CTRL DL6JAN SHIFT: |
| CTRL DL6JAN CapsLock: | CTRL CTRL: |
| CTRL TAB: |
| text or call is saved, no output is generated |
| stores the call, transmission starts immediately after hitting SHIFT |
| stores the call, in addition the contents of memory F4 is appended to the quick memory content |
| deletes memory |
| cancels the input without storing anything |
Instead of the call you can write any thinkable text but not more than 51 characters (overflow indication). Allowed are all characters described above, contest number (F9), control characters to increment/decrement the control number (+/-), F1...F8 keys, Alt-keys and the speed toggle key (ENTER). Note, that ALT-keys generate 3 bytes code in memory ! The quick memory is volatile.
Morse practising
CW practising mode starts by pressing F12 whereby the "Scroll Lock LED" is switched on. You can choose one of the excercises shown below now by hitting the keys 1...6. Random characters in groups of 5 letters/numbers are generated. Excercises 2 ... 6 include all characters of the exercises before:
|
1: e,t,i,m,n 2: a,o,s,h,k 3: j,g,r,d,u,w 4: y,b,c,v 5: q,z,l,f,b,x 6: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 7: numbers 0...9 only |
Leave the practising mode with "TAB".
Parameter setup
While a morse exercising program is running several parameters can be influenced. By pressing the keys described below the parameter will be selected first and can subsequently be increased/decreased by the "+" and "-" keys. Stroke F10 to save the changed settings in EEPROM to have them available next time you power on the device.

S: Dit length (short) L: Dah length (long) G: space between dots and dashs (gap) B: space between characters (break) R: you have all messed up ? => back to standard values (reset) |
Default parameter setting example: "F12" (practising on) => "1" (number of program) => "R" (reset) => "F10" (save parameters)
