Memory").

You must exercise care in sending to ensure that the spaces
between letters and words are accurately done; if your tim-
ing is off, the spacing may not come out right in the stored
message.
For ease in setting up the keyer memories, we recommend
you set Menu item "051 A1A F-TYPE" and/or "053 A1A
R-TYPE" to "ACS" (Automatic Character Spacing) while
you are programming the keyer memories.

PARIS Word Length: By convention in the Amateur
industry (utilized by ARRL and others), the length of one
"word" of CW is defined as the length of the Morse Code
characters spelling the word "PARIS." This character (dot/
dash/space) length is used for the rigorous definition of
code speed in "words per minute."
