Message Memory
With the keyboard, you can play or save messages using the keyboard function keys. To play a
message, press any keyboard function key F1 to F4. The message will play and send to your
radio. Press CTRL+Arrow keys to change the overall speed on the fly, press ALT+Arrow keys
to change the weight on the fly, and press SHIFT+Arrow keys to change the tone on the fly.
To save a message to memory, press and hold the CTRL key, press the keyboard function key F1
to F4, and then release the CTRL key (this is denoted as CTRL+Fn). The keyer will respond
with "GO" (dah-dah-dit dah-dah-dah). Now a message can be typed into memory.
Begin typing in your message pressing the space bar between words. The keyer echoes each
character as it is typed. Press the BACK SPACE key to delete the last character. In message
program mode only, press CTRL+BACK SPACE to delete the last word.
At the end of your message, press ENTER to end your message. The keyer will respond by
sending an end-of-message character (di-dah-di-dah-dit) and save your message. It will
automatically insert “]” to the end of your message.
If you accidentally enter “[“ during the message, you will have to use “]” to end your message –
this allows carriage returns (produced by ENTER) in the message. The open square bracket “[”
tells the keyer to replace the ENTER key with the close square bracket “]” as the end-of-message
key.
Refer to “The Memory” section on page 35 for explanation of the MFJ-464’s message memory
and how to use the embedded commands to enhance your message.
Quick Speeds
There are four pre-set memories to store the overall speed, so the speed can be quickly changed
during an exchange. This works similar to your car radio’s pre-set station memories. To store
the current overall speed into one of these pre-set memories, press CTRL+F9 to CTRL+F12. To
recall a pre-set speed to use as the current speed, press F9 to F12.
