NAMING THE CW MESSAGES (WITH PADDLE KEYING
ONLY)
If you store CW messages by means of paddle keying,
you do not know the contents of the CW messages stored
in the respective channels. Therefore, naming each
message stored enables you to distinguish the contents of
the entry.
After reviewing the status of Menu 5-10 whether "Paddle"
has been selected for the entry method of CW messages,
you can follow the procedure below to name each CW
message. The names of CW messages are given to
channel 1 through channel 8.

In any transmit mode other than CW mode, [KEYER] (F2)
does not appear in the key guide. Press [CW/CW-R].

MULTI/CH control to select a channel to which a CW
message is stored.

CONTEST NUMBER FORMAT (TEXT ENTRY ONLY)
The channel number where you wish to save the contest

time you transmit a fixed phrase from the channel that you
have selected.
