Notes on AMTOR operation
You can set up your KAM’98 to automatically send a CW ID during Mode A op

eration if desired. To do this, set the text you want to send (up to 15 characters)
with the CWIDTEXT command, set the CWPTT command ON and set ARQID
to the number of minutes between CW IDs. If you operate AFSK (SSB), you
must also set CWAUDIO ON. The CW ID speed is set by the CWSPEED com
