U-30 ( )
Function: Define the desired truncation for the 5 fig-
ure used in contest numbers
(5: • • • • • )
Available Values:
(E: • )
( • • • • • )
Default:
This truncation is seldom used in incremented con-
test numbers, although it frequently is used in the
truncated form of the "599" signal report, which may
be shortened to "ENN" ( •  a •  a •  a • )
ahead of the incremented contest number (001, 002,
. . . ).
U-31 ( )
Function: Define the desired truncation for the 7 fig-
ure used in contest numbers
(7: a a •  •  •  )
Available Values:
(B: a •  •  •  )
( a a •  •  •  )
Default:
This truncation is seldom used in contest numbers,
as it may cause confusion with the number 6.
U-32 ( )
Function: Define the desired truncation for the 8 fig-
ure used in contest numbers
(8: a a a •  •  )
Available Values:
(D: a •  •  )
( a a a •  •  )
Default:
Use this Menu Item to shorten the number "eight" in
a contest number.
U-33 ( )
Function: Define the desired truncation for the 9 fig-
ure used in contest numbers
(9: a a a a •  )
Available Values:
(N: a •  )
( a a a a •  )
Default:
This is perhaps the most-commonly-truncated num-
ber used in CW contests.

U-34 ( )
Function: Set the number of digits in a contest num-
ber
Available Values: /
Default:
The default value places a contest number without
leading zeroes in the contest number message
memory location (at the point where "???" is inserted).
The other choices are:
A full three-digit contest number, including
zeroes. This will switch automatically to four
digits after QSO number 999.
A full four-digit contest number, including
zeroes. If you reach 9999 QSOs, you prob-
ably already won the contest, and can now
quit!
In this mode, the contest number genera-
tor is disabled.
U-35 ( )
Function: Define the type of repeater-access tone
to be transmitted on 28 MHz during FM "RPT" opera-
tion.
Available Values:
Default:
The default value causes a tone (set via Menu Item
U-37) to be transmitted continuously when the "RPT"
FM mode is in use. The BURST option transmits the
selected tone for an interval of only 500 milliseconds,
and typically only the 1750 Hz tone selection would
be applicable for BURST operation.
U-36 ( )
Function: Define the type of repeater-access tone
to be transmitted on 50 MHz during FM "RPT" opera-
tion.
Available Values:
Default:
The default value causes a tone (set via Menu Item
U-37) to be transmitted continuously when the "RPT"
FM mode is in use. The BURST option transmits the
selected tone for an interval of only 500 milliseconds,
and typically only the 1750 Hz tone selection would
be applicable for BURST operation.
