Grab & Go - QRPworks K-Board User Manual

Grab & Go™
The K-Board has a unique feature call Grab & Go
helps you to maintain the flow in contests or regular QSOs.
Grab & Go allows you capture (grab) a station's call at the
same time you are responding on the air. This is instead of
typing the other stations call in the Enter Call screen (Alt-C)
and then sending it subsequently.
Also note that when you use Alt-C to captutre a call, the call
entered is not transmitted. When you use Grab & Go to
capture a call, the call IS transmitted.
Here's how it works. Shown is an example for a contest where
someone answers your CQ and you want to respond with the
contest exchange stored in message F2:

To define any message as a Grab & Go message,
place a "@" as the first character of the message.
Example: @ TU 599 CO

If you name you message, put the @ after the colon, as
the first character of the message to be sent.
Example: Exchange:@ TU 599 CO
(where Exchange is the name of the message and is
not sent)

Then when you press F2, you will be prompted to enter
a call (that's the 'grab' part):
o Use the keyboard to type it in or use the rig's
o The call you are typing or keying is sent to the
