Memory Load Mode

1. Many of the steps you went through in the KEYER SEND mode could be repeated in MEMORY

LOAD  mode.  To  enter  the  memory  load  mode  set  the  memory  switch  to  LOAD,  and  note  the
LED will come on.

2. Press  [1][#],  [2][#],  [3][#],  [4][#],  [5][#],  [6][#],  [7][#],  [8][#],  [9][#],  [0][#].  This  will  clear  all  the

memory  locations.  Verify  this  by  switching  the  Mode  Switch  out  of  memory  load.  Press  any

numbered

 button on the keypad. Nothing but a feedback tone should result, indicating the stor-

age location is empty.

3. Return the memory switch to LOAD. Press [1] and send a short message, one word at a time,

with the paddle. Upon completion of the message, press the [#] button which terminates mes-
sage loading.

4. Switch out of LOAD and press [1]. Immediately upon release of [1] the message you recorded

will be sent. You may change speeds if you like and repeat the message again by pressing [1].

5. Press  [1]  and  play  back  the  message  again.  Between  words  in  the  message  playback,  press

the dot paddle and hold momentarily. The message will halt without inserting an extra dot. Now
you  may  send  anything  with  the  paddle.  By  pressing  [

*

][5],  the  message  will  resume  sending

from where you interrupted the message. This is a very useful feature for inserting a signal re-
port, for example, in the middle of a message.

6. Return the memory switch to LOAD and press [2]. With the paddle, key in the word "test" and

press  [

*

][

*

][8][

*

][

*

][8][

*

][

*

][8].  Again,  with  the  paddle,  send  "test"  and  then  press  [

*

][

*

][8][

*

][

*

][8].

Now send "test" again with the paddle and press [

*

][

*

][8]. Send "test" one more time, followed

by the letter "K" with the paddle. Press [#] to terminate the message.

7. Switch to memory LOAD and press [2] on the keypad. The message should play back a series

of the word "test" with progressively shorter spaces between words.

8. Switch to memory LOAD and press [

*

][9] to enter the REAL TIME memory loading mode. Press

[3], pause for a short while and then send a message, one word at a time, with the paddle. Ter-
minate the message by pressing [#].

9. Switch out of memory LOAD and press [3]. Immediately, upon release of [3], the message will

commence  playing  back  with  the  exact  same  pauses  as  were  present  between  words  during
the loading operation. This is called the REAL TIME Loading Mode. The other (AUTO WORD
SPACE)  loading  mode  will  insert  a  maximum  of  one  word  space  between  characters  unless
you use the [

*

][8] or [

*

][

*

][8] instruction in the loading operation.

10. Switch to memory LOAD and press [

*

][

*

][9]. Now press [4] and send "NR" with the paddle and

press [

*

][0] which inserts the Serial Number Generator at this point in the message. Now send

"K" with the paddle and terminate the message by pressing [#] on the keypad.

11. Switch out of LOAD and press [4]. The Keyer should play back: NR 01 K. Press [4] again and

the Keyer should play back NR 02 K. Now press [

*

][0] and then [4]. The Keyer should now play

back  NR  02  K  again  (It  repeated  the  same  serial  number.)  Now  press  [

*

][

*

][0][1][6][1][#]  and

then press [4] again. Now the message should read NR 161 K.

12. Press [4] again and press the dot paddle between 162 and K to halt the message (right after

the serial number).

13. Return  the  Mode  Switch  to  LOAD  and  press  [

*

][5]  (for  Edit).  Now,  with  the  paddle,  send  DE

K1XX K. Press [#] to terminate the message loading.
