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 "MODE-CW 049 F-KEYER
TYPE" and/or "MODE-CW 051 R-KEYER TYPE"
to "ACS" (Automatic Character Spacing) while you are
programming the keyer memories.
It is possible to transmit, repetitively in a "Beacon" mode, any message programmed either via paddle input or via
the "Text" input method. The time delay between message repeats may be set anywhere between 1 and 255 seconds
via Menu item "FH-2 SET 024 BEACON TIME." If you do not wish the message to repeat in a "Beacon" mode,
please set this Menu item to "Off."
Press the [ 1 ] ~ [ 5 ] key, depending on the register into which the Beacon message is stored. Repetitive transmission
of the Beacon message will begin. Press one of these keys once more to halt the Beacon transmissions.
