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 36 for explanation of the MFJ-495’s message memory and how
to use the embedded commands to enhance your message.
Quick Speeds
Each of the four Users has 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 ALT+F9 to ALT+F12.
