TEXT Memory
The five channels of CW message memorey (up to 50 characters each) may also be programmed using a text-entry technique. This technique is somewhat slower than when you send the message directly from your keyer paddle, but accuracy of character spaceing is ensured. Be sure to enter the character "}" at the end of texts.

Example 1: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K } (20 characters).

The sequential Contest Number ("Count up") feature is another powerful feature of the CW Memory Keyer.

Example 2: 599 10 200 # K } (15 characters).
