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") fea-
ture.
Example 2 : 599 10 200 # K} (15 characters)
Text Memory Storage
1 Press the MNU key to enter the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to select the CW Memory
Register into which you wish to store the message; we
are now selecting the message entry technique ( Text
entry). You may also use the TFT's F6 and F7
keys to select the Memory Register.
FH-2SET 023 CW MEMORY 1
FH-2SET 024 CW MEMORY 2
FH-2SET 025 CW MEMORY 3
FH-2SET 026 CW MEMORY 4
FH-2SET 027 CW MEMORY 5
3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob, or use the TFT's
F4 / F5 keys, to set the selected Memory Register
to "TEXT." For the second example, to be applied to
Memory Register 5, select "COUNTUP" instead of
"TEXT."
4. Press and hold in the MNU key for two seconds to
save the new settings and exit.
Advice
By referring to the chart, you may view the characters avail-
able for message entry (both capital and small letters, plus
numbers and a few punctuation marks, are available).
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 FH-2's DEC key. The current Contest
Number will be displayed on the TFT.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to set the Contest
Number to the desired value.
3. Press the DEC key once more to store the new
number.
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 Num-
ber 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 Program-
ming" technique desribed above.
