MESSAGE COMMANDS
(PASSWORD) 15 (message) *
This command is used to send a message, but unlike the "Programmable
Messages," this command does not store the message in memory. It has
two purposes: (1) You can experiment with different message types by
entering this command and listening for the results; and (2), you can place
this command into a macro so that a message is sent when the macro is
executed.
too many digits entered
Let's send some CW characters, some beep characters, then some CW
characters again. The CW characters will be A, B, and C; the beeps will be
25 through 30 at 80 ms durations with 20 ms gaps between them; and the
final CW characters will be 1, 2, and 3 at 30 WPM and 1000 Hz frequency.
Looking up the CW Character Set, we see that the Control Character is
9900; A, B, and C are 10 11 12. Looking up the Beep Character Set, we
see that the Control Character is 9910; to get 80 ms durations, we must
enter 75; to get 20 ms gaps we must enter 56 to turn the gaps on, and 61 to
get 20 ms gaps. Going back to the CW Character Set once again, we see
that the Control Character is 9900 again; to get 30 WPM we must enter 68;
to get 1000 Hz frequency, we must enter 591000; and 1, 2, 3 is 01 02 03.
Therefore, the complete command to send this message is:
(PW) 1599001011129910755661252627282930990068591000010203 *
You may never have a need for a message like this, but this example shows
the flexibility available in the controller.
