CW C
ONVENIENCE
The FT
5000 in capable of the automatic sending of CW messages (as you might do in a contest) by plugging the
DX
supplied FH-2 Remote Control Keypad into the rear panel REMOTE jack. Two techniques for message storage are avail-
able: you may either send the desired message contents using your keyer paddle ("Message Memory"), or you may input
the text characters using the ( VFO-A )[ SELECT ] knob and ( VFO-B )[ SELECT ] knobs ("Text Memory").
MESSAGE Memory
Five memory channels capable of retaining 50 characters total are provided (using the PARIS standard for character and
word length).
Example: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K (19 characters)

T
:
PARIS Word Length: By convention in the Amateur
industry (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 rigorous definition of
code speed in "words per minute."

N
:
You must exercise care in sending to ensure that the
spaces between 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 recom-
mend you set Menu item "057 A1A F-TYPE" and/or
"059 A1A R-TYPE" to "ACS" (Automatic Character
Spacing) while you are programming the keyer memo-
ries.
