Message Memory
To play a message in the terminal mode, type ~# where # is the message number 1 to 4. The
message is sent to the radio and echoed back to the terminal.
There are two different ways to save a message in the keyer terminal. You can type a message
manually or load the message that you have saved in a text file. To save a message, type ~>#
where # is the message number followed by the content of the message. 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. 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.
Alternately, type ~>#[message text]. The keyer will end the message when the close square
bracket “]” is received. When the open square bracket “[” is received, the keyer will use the
close square bracket “]” (instead of the ENTER key) as the end-of-message indicator from that
point on. This allows carriage returns, produced by the ENTER key, in the message.
To view the content of a message, type ~<# where # is the message number. The memory will
echo to the terminal.
Message Commands
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.
Uploading and Downloading Messages:
To send messages either from your computer to the MFJ-464 or from the unit to your computer,
you use a terminal program on the computer that is capable of transferring ASCII data.
Configure the terminal software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit. Set the
flow control to Xon/Xoff. To perform the transfer, you prepare either the computer or the Keyer
to receive the file, and then send from the other.
