TEXT Memory

The five channels of CW message memory (up to 50 characters total) may also be programmed using a text-entry tech-
nique. This technique is somewhat slower than when you send the message directly from your keyer paddle, but accuracy
of character spacing is ensured.
Example 1 : CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K} (20 characters)
Now we will utilize another powerful feature of the CW Memory Keyer, the sequential contest number ("Countup") feature.
Example 2 : 599 10 200 # K} (15 characters)

Memory Register to "TEXT."
4. Press and hold in the [ MNU ] key for two seconds to
save the new settings and exit.
Contest Number Programming
Use this process if you are starting a contest, or of you somehow get out of sync with the
proper number in the middle of a contest.
1. Press the [ MNU ] key to enter the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob to select Menu item "FH-2 SET 026 CONTEST
NUMBER".
3. Rotate the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob to set the Contest Number to the desired value.
4. Press and hold in the [ MNU ] key for two seconds to store the new number and exit to
normal operation.
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's [ DEC ] key. The current Contest Number will be reduced by one. Press the [ DEC ] key as many
times as necessary to reach the desired number. If you go too far, use the "Contest Number Programming" tech-
nique described above.
