TERMINOLOGY: PARIS Word Length: By convention among CW and Amateur operators (utilized by ARRL and others), the length of one "word" of CW is defined as the length of the Morse Code characters spelling the word "PARIS". This character (dot/dash/space) length is used for the specific definition of code speed in "words per minute". NOTE: You must exercise care in sending to ensure that the spaces beteen letters and words are accurately done; if your timing is off, the spacing may not come out right in the stored message. For ease in setting up the keyer memories, we recommend you set Menu item "018 F KEYER TYPE" and/or "020 R KEYER TYPE" to "ACS" (Automatic Character Spacing) while you are programming the keyer memories.
