Sending prosigns via CAT KY

 

Dear Hans,
?
In case you get stuck with NF audio chain for SSB and need some low hanging fruit distraction - the KY CAT command is lacking a way to send prosigns.
?
How about an underscore prefix as with the message memory?
?
And - after I had an incident where another station just broke into my transmission and did not realize that the qrg is busy - I wonder how it could be made possible to interrupt a lengthy ongoing? transmission by insta-flushing the tx buffer, e.g. on long press of menu button.
?
73, Andreas
 

Hello Andreas

Agreed, these? would? both be useful items. I have added them to my development list for the next firmware version.?

Have I misunderstood your suggestion for the second thing about interrupting a message?? You can already instantly stop an outgoing message by touching either side of the paddle.

Thanks, Peter, but in my case no paddle nor key was attached and the message is being keyed sopely via CAT KY command.

(Of course, no serious CW operator would do this, its only for noobs like me who have not finished all letters of Koch' training but still want to participate somehow...)

I believe you can also interrupt (cancel) an ongoing transmission by pressing the Exit button.?

I don't remember explicitly coding this for the KY command but, since the KY command internally just sets up a temporary message memory and uses the same message memory transmission mechanism, pressing the Exit button (right button) should also cancel KY.?
