Text Message Entry
There are 50 text message memory locations available that can be used in CW, RTTY or PSK modes. Each
location can store up to 124 characters (including spaces). These messages are stored in non-volatile memory so
they will not be lost when power is cycled. Create a text message as follows:
 Press
Ctrl-Alt-T to enter the text message window. The window opens on top of the data and status
windows. Press the up and down arrows to find an available (empty) message location (indicated by an
key assignment), or you can select a message that is no longer needed. Figure 4 shows that
memory location 1 is available.

 Press
Enter to use the selected memory location.
Figure 5. Assigning a Recall Key.
 Press the key(s) that you want to use to recall this message. In the example shown in Figure 6, the
ALT-
B key combination was assigned to the message. If the name of the key does not appear when it is
pressed, it has already been assigned to another message. You must choose a different key.
