Logikey K-3 KEYER
8
EMULATION OPTIONS
This parameter allows the keyer timing to mimic that of other keyers, making the "feel" of the keyer more
comfortable for operators used to different timing patterns. The default setting is VØ, a timing pattern which
has proven to be the most user-friendly for many operators. Other values are as follows:
VØ Logikey K1, K3 timing w/dot and dash memory
V1 Logikey K1, K3 timing w/dot memory only
V2 Logikey K1, K3 timing w/dash memory only
V3 Accukeyer timing w/dot and dash memory
V4 Accukeyer timing w/dot memory only
V5 Accukeyer timing w/dash memory only
V6 Curtis "A" timing w/dot and dash memory
V7 Curtis "A" timing w/dot memory only
V8 Curtis "A" timing w/dash memory only
V9 Iambic timing w/no dot or dash memory
Note that this makes a full featured memory keyer finally available to those used to the Curtis "A" timing!
Tell your Curtis equipped friends! To implement a setting different from VØ, enter the Function Mode and
send 'V
d
', where
d
is the desired setting. To determine the present setting of the V parameter in your keyer,
enter the Inquiry Mode and respond to the "?" prompt with a "V". The keyer will annunciate the "V" setting.
ERROR INDICATION
When an erroneous input or exceptional condition is detected, the operator is notified by a distinctive rau-
cous tone burst. Examples include non existent functions, invalid numeric parameters, and exhaustion of
message capacity during a load.
SERIAL NUMBER OPTIONS
The "Z
d
" command selects one of 10 options for sending zeros and nines in the contest serial number. Zeros
may be replaced by "O" or "T", nines replaced by "N", and leading zeros suppressed. The options available
are:
Note: For numbers less than 1000, the first zero is always suppressed.
EMBEDDED FUNCTION EXAMPLES
Perhaps the most powerful feature of the keyer is its ability to store functions within messages. The stored
commands are executed as encountered when the message is played. A consecutive serial number, for ex-
ample, is needed in several contest exchanges. An ARRL Sweepstakes exchange, for an answering station,
could be programmed as exemplified by: "NR /N/GØ A KCØQ 80 IA BK". A second message might contain a
serial number repeat message. This makes use of the decrement function: "/D NR /N BK".
