CONTEST MEMORY KEYER (USING THE OPTIONAL FH-2 REMOTE CONTROL KEYPAD) Cont'd

NOTE:
If you subsequently decide to use the "Message Memory" technique for memory storage, please note that the contents of a message stored using text input will not be transferred over when you set entry to "Message Memory technique" on a particular memory register (the Memory Mode Setting is set to "MESSAGE").

Decrementing the Contest Number

Use this process if the current contest number gets slightly ahead of the actual number you want to send (in case of a duplicate QSO, for example).

Press the FH-2 [DEC] key momentarily. The current Contest Number will be reduced by one. Press the FH-2 [DEC] key as many times as necessary to reach the desired number. If you go too far, use the "Contest Numbering Programming" technique described previously.


Transmiting in the Beacon Mode

In "Beacon " mode, it is possible to repeatedly transmit any message programmed, either vial paddle input, or via the "Text" input method. The time delay between message repeats may be set anywhere between 1 and 690 seconds (1 ~ 240 sec (1 sec/sep) or 270 ~ 690 sec (30 sec/step)) via Menu item "024 BEACON TIME". If you do not wish the message to repeat in a "Beacon" mode, please set this Menu item to "OFF".

To transmit the message:

    1. Press the [BK-IN] button to enable transmission. Either Full-break-in or Semi-break-in will be engaged, depending on the setting of Menu item "063 CW BK-IN".

    2. Press the FH-2 [1] ~ [5] key. Repetitive transmission of the Beacon message will begin.
