If you operate a CW keyer manually while playing 
back a recorded CW message, the transceiver 
stops playing back the message.  However, during  
contests or regular QSOs, you may sometimes 
want to insert a different number or message at a 
certain point in the recorded message.

 

In this case, fi rst record the CW message as 
usual {page 35}, without the additional number or 
message you want to insert.  Then, access Menu 
No. 39 and select “on”.

 

Now, if you operate a CW keyer while you play 
back a recorded message, the transceiver pauses 
the playback of the recorded message, instead of 
stopping it.  When you fi nish sending the number or 
message with the keyer, the transceiver resumes 
playback of the message.
