CW Identifier Setup

The ARTS™ feature includes a CW identifier, as discussed previously. Every ten minutes
during ARTS™ operation, the radio can be instructed to send "DE (your callsign) K" if
this feature is enabled. The callsign field may contain up to 6 characters.
Here's how to program the CW Identifier:
1. Press the [ F ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 11:

callsign, then press the [ F ] key momentarily to save the first
letter/number and move on to the next character.
6. Repeat the previous step, as many times as necessary, to com-
plete your callsign. If you make a mistake, press the [ ( MHz )]
key to move back to the previous letter/number's slot, then re-
select the correct letter/number.
7. When you have finished entering your entire callsign and it con-
tains less than 6 characters, press and hold in the [ F ] key for one
second to confirm the callsign. (if you callsign has exactly 6
characters, you do not need to press and hold in [ F ] in this step).
