Frequency Change feature, it is a good practice to specify the frequency for
each CW message
If you wish to change the CW frequency for all CW messages, see the Select
Frequency of CW command on page 4-11.
Speed Change
The CW sending speed in WPM (words per minute) may be changed before,
or during, a CW message. The speed may be varied from 5 to 40 WPM in ten
steps. This feature allows you to draw attention to a certain CW message, or
make it more easily copied by those with modest CW skills.
• To temporarily change the sending speed of a CW message, enter a 2-digit
character from 60 to 69 ahead of the CW characters that are to be sent at
the new speed.
• The speed may be changed as often as desired within a CW message
(even between each character).
The temporary sending speed will stay in effect until either changed by other
control codes, or until the message buffer empties. Thus, if you will be using
the Speed Change feature, it is a good practice to specify the frequency for
each CW Message.
If you wish to change the sending speed for all CW messages, see the Select
Normal CW Speed and Select Slow CW Speed commands on pages 4-13 and
4-14 respectively.
If you wish to allow users to slow down CW messages, see the Send Next
Message Slowly command on page 4-12.
