Then press a key F1 through F10 or Alt-F1 through Alt-
F10 corresponding to the message you want to create
or edit.
Enter characters from the keyboard. Any previous
message will be erased. Enter the new message
entirely.
When finished, press the F12 key again or Enter to
save the changes and return to the normal mode. The
Yellow LED will go out.
o If in CW mode, you will hear an R and if text
decoding is on, you will see an R on the rig's
scrolling display.
o If in a RTTY or PSK mode, if text decoding is on,
you will see an R on the rig's display.
If you want to cancel the editing of a message, press the ESC
key. The K-Board will return to the normal mode and the Yellow
LED will go out.
When in RTTY or PSK, the rig will remain in transmit mode for
approx. 4 seconds after the last character has been sent. To
have the rig go back to receive immediately after the last
character has been sent, add a vertical bar "|" at the end of the
message (without the quotes). It's especially useful when
contesting or events.
Example: 5NN CO |
Naming Text Messages
The K-Board provides a way to name a message. The name
will then be shown in the message preview (Alt-P) as a handy
reminder.
