LogiKey K-3 - EMBEDDED FUNCTIONS

Logikey K-3 KEYER
5
W Inquire Weight - the current weight percentage is sent by the keyer as two digits.
Z Inquire Zeros and Nines: the keyer responds with the option number (0–9) currently in effect.
1 Inquire Message 1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) - message 1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) is played exactly as it would
go over the air, but with the output disabled.
Note: You can also play back a message sounding the embedded function commands. (See below) To do so,
momentarily press the right two buttons (#5 & #6) simultaneously. After receiving the "?" reply, press the
message memory button you wish to review. The message will be played back with any embedded com-
mands.
EMBEDDED FUNCTIONS
Certain functions can be embedded within character messages. To distinguish them from normal text, the
command strings are prefixed by a "/" and are entered as a separate word. When encountered during a
message play, the functions are executed. Note that if "/" is part of a single word, as in W9KNI/ZA2, it is
sent as expected and is not interpreted as a command prefix. Embedded command strings and their use are
explained below:
/B Break - message play is suspended to allow insertion of paddle text. The operator may then insert
code using the paddle. Once paddle input has begun, the Break function is canceled when inactivity
exceeding a word space is detected. The interrupted message then resumes. A Break may also be
aborted by pressing a button, which will cause the corresponding message to resume play immedi-
ately.
/D Decrement - decrements contest serial number by one.
/G d Gap - the normal 7-element interword space is modified to 3+ d , where d is a digit from 0 – 9. It is
used to exaggerate inter-character or inter-wordspacing. For example, a call like WØEJ can be en-
tered with slight lengthening of the space between the "E" and the "J" for emphasis, making it eas-
ier to copy. Note that /GØ yields a normal character space, while /G4 yields a normal word space. Al-
so, note that you need to wait until after the high pitched "di-dit" before sending the next letter. Mul-
tiple /G d "s can be stacked for greater length.
/N Number - the current value of the serial number is played, then automatically increased by one. Also
see SERIAL NUMBER OPTIONS.
/P dd Pause - a speed-independent pause of dd seconds is inserted, where dd are two digits in the range
00 to 99. For example, /P35 will result in a delay of 3.5 seconds. Pauses longer than 9.9 seconds are
obtained by using consecutive commands that total the value desired.
/R Resume - Stops message play to allow hand-sent entry. When manual keying is completed, press
the message button and the message will resume from that point. Multiple "/R" commands are per-
mitted.
/S dd Speed - Sets the operating speed to dd WPM in a message, where dd are two digits in the range 6
to 60. This is used when you want a message to be sent at a specific speed rather than the pot
speed. If not changed, subsequent messages called from within the message will also be played at
the specified speed. To restore message speed to the pot speed, embed the command "/SØØ".
/SU dd Speed Up - increases the operating speed by dd WPM, where dd is a number in the range 01 and
up.
/SD dd Slow Down - decreases the operating speed by dd WPM, where dd is a number in the range 01 and
up.
/U dd Ultra-speed - sets the ultra-speed mode for a message, used primarily for meteor scatter work.
Range is 70 – 990 words per minute, where dd are the two digits representing the first two numbers
