| Fragment instrukcji: No Support for CW Keying by CAT Command There are a few radios (Kenwood, Elecraft, Flex) that allow sending CW via “KY” radio command messages. This method is not supported by the Logger team. This does not mean it won’t work at all. You can program such radio command messages into function key messages using CAT1ASC macros, but apart from the fact that this only works with certain radios, there are several other limitations to this method: You can only put one of these CAT1ASC macro commands in each function key message. The number of characters that can be sent in such a message is limited (or with some radios, fixed to an exact specified number of characters). Note that this is the number of Morse code characters, including spaces, that the message is converted to, not a count of the number of characters in the N1MM Logger+ command. Therefore you need to design your messages so that they will take no more than (or exactly) that number of characters, even with the longest call sign and exchange you are likely to need during the contest. If you exceed the length limit in a composed message, nothing might be sent. You cannot send ad lib Morse code from the program this way, i.e. the Ctrl+K command to send keyboard CW does not work with this method. Editing call signs on the fly does not work with this method. The “send corrected call sign” feature does not work with this method. The “CW autosend” feature does not work with this method. The CW speed using this method is controlled from the radio’s CW Speed control, not from N1MM Logger+. The Logger’s CW speed control macros and the PgUp/PgDn keys will not work with this method. Once the function key containing one of these messages has been pressed, you can only use the Esc key to interrupt the message from N1MM Logger+ if the radio supports this capability via CAT command and it has been implemented in N1MM+ for that radio. If not, you might be able to interrupt a message in progress from the radio’s front panel controls. If you want to use auto CQ repeat in N1MM Logger+, the repeat interval is measured from the start of one message to the start of the next one, i.e. it includes the message as well as the time between messages. Therefore it has to be longer than the duration of your CQ message at the slowest CW speed you use. If you change CW speeds using the radio’s speed control, a repeat interval that is appropriate for the slowest CW speed will likely be longer than you would like at higher speeds. |
