Text Memory - Yaesu FT-891 Advance Manual

CW Mode Operation

Text Memory

The five channels of CW message memory ( up to 50 characters each ) may also be
programmed using a text-entry technique. This method is somewhat slower than sending
the message directly from the keyer paddle, but accuracy of character spacing is ensured.
Be sure to enter the character "}" at the end of the text message.
Example 1: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K } ( 20 characters )
The sequential Contest Number ( "Count up" ) feature is another powerful feature that may
be utilized within the CW Memory Keyer by entering the # symbol.
Example 2: 599 10 200 # K } ( 15 characters )
