There are four memories, actuated by the large M1-M4 buttons which are arranged in a circle around the REC button in the URH corner. TAP to send, HOLD to repeat. Tap REC followed by an Mx button to record at whatever speed is currently set for the keyer. They play at whatever speed is current at playback time. Tap a key or the paddle to abort a message. CW memories are in the base unit. If you have the optional DVK, the same buttons work for voice messages. If you use a computer and its message sending facilities, then you may not need the message memories so you can assign them to menu functions, up to four TAP functions and up to four HOLD functions. You can have some Mx buttons assigned to messages and others assigned to menu functions but both the TAP and HOLD functions of any one button must be assigned to the same type of function, either message send/repeat or two programmable functions. The first time you set up a button to be a menu function, that function gets assigned to both TAP and HOLD. Later, you can redefine the TAP and HOLD functions individually.
These same buttons also serve as frequency/mode/filter memories on a per-band basis. V->M followed by an Mx button saves a setup; M->V followed by an Mx button recalls a setup. This capability always exists for all four Mx buttons, regardless of whether they are being used as message memories or programmed function keys. I will usually have two of them set up for my favorite CW and SSB frequencies on each band and the other two reserved for menu functions. Menu functions of an Mx button are the same on all bands. I think this functionality is very slick. /Rick N6XI On 7/29/07, George <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I don't see anything listed anywhere on the K3's internal CW keyer > features.
