unit inserts a close square bracket “]” as its "end-of-message" indicator. If you insert “[]” at the end
of your message file, the MFJ-495 will stop the transfer automatically when the close square bracket
“]” is received. If the unit runs out of memory, the transfer will be stopped automatically.
• When the message transfer is completed, the unit will display RECEIVED XXXX where XXXX is a
four-digit number indicating the number of characters received. This number includes the opening
and ending message delimiters “[” and “]”, plus any tabs and carriage returns.
• Normal operation is automatically resumed after approximately two seconds. Or, type “]” or press
any button or paddle to return to normal operation immediately.
WARNING: Do not turn the power off while loading the memory; otherwise, the memory can
be corrupted.
One way of speeding data transfer is to configure your terminal program to strip out linefeeds that follow
carriage returns. While computers store a carriage return as two characters (the carriage return followed
by a linefeed), the MFJ-495 stores only the carriage return and generates the linefeed following it during
playback. The additional linefeed thus does not need to be transferred to the Keyer.
Sending Contents of a Memory Block to the Computer
• Configure your terminal program to receive ASCII data.
• Type “~<##”, where the first # is a digit in the range of 1 to 8 for the message number and the second
# is a letter in the range of A to D for the memory bank.
SENDING XXXX will appear on the
display, where XXXX is a four-digit number indicating the number of characters in the message plus
the message delimiters “[” and “]”.
• A progress indicator will appear on the second line of the display to indicate the percentage of the
message that has been sent.
• To stop the transfer at any time, press Menu or ESC.
• Return to normal operation when the transfer is completed.
