Contest Memory Keyer

The supplied FH-2 Remote Control Keypad may be used as a control keypad for the automatic sending of CW messages
(as you might do in a contest).
Two techniques for message storage are available: you may either send the desired message contents using your keyer
paddle ("Message Memory"), or you may input the text characters using the TFT ("Text Memory").
See page 15 for details regarding interconnection of the FH-2.

Message Memory

Five memory channels capable of retaining 50 characters total are provided (using the PARIS standard for characters and
word length).
Example : CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K (14 characters)

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 char-
acter (dot/dash/space) length is used for the rigor-
ous definition of code speed in "words per minute".
