OK Doc, I got it. Here are some pointers for the SETUP/MESSAGES.
1. Messages are assigned to function keys 1 thru 11.
2. By default the F11 message blank is assigned to any CQ message you want.
BUT that message is sent by the Function (F) 1 key.
3. There must be something in the message window to turn the transmnitter
on.
4. Some useful things to put in the message windows are:
%R (caps) carriage return and line feed.
%E End (turns xmitter off.)
%D inserts the call that was clicked and dropped into the
log window.
5. %3 insers automaticaly your next log sequence number
6. %H inserts the callers first name from the friend file.
7. I assigned my function keys as follows:
F1 CQ - Run mode
F2 Response and report - Run mode
F3 QSL/QRZ - Run mode
F4. Call someone - search and pounce mode
F5 Response and report - search and pounce mode
F6 Your call again?
F7 Your report again?
F8 My call repeated several times
F9 My report repeated several times
F10 Worked B4
This a my typical CQ:
%RCQ TEST DE AH6HH AH6HH %R%E
This is my typical response for some one calling me:
%R%D DE AH6HH TU %H 599 599 %3 %3 QSL BK%R%E
Oh yes, alt/K turns on the xmitter for a kbd comms. ESC turn the xmitter
off.
Hope this is what you were asking and hope it helps. Have fun,
de sid ah6hh
