I have programmed my CW function Keys and they are working fine.
I have one program as the RST TU Key as "5NN__TU".
Need to get the command that speeds up the 5NN a bit faster than the regular speed I'm on.
Going through the help files, I think I saw it but now I cant find it, I think it was some kind of % command.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Charlie CW spped is set by using for example [S25] set speed at 25 wpm.

Also you can use [125%] or another numeral to set it to 125% of original speed or whatever you prefer.

I found this by going to Help>Help and typing CW speed. I hope this helps!! Gud Luck and have a good weekend!!

Thanks Kyle, that is the command I was looking for.

I'm still doing something wrong, I've tried several combinations and can't get it to work.
My original setting was "5NN__TU"

If I put the new command, say like this "5NN [s130%]__TU", it will transmit 5NN 130 TU

I tried the example that's on the Help file: CQ CQ CQ DE WN4AZY [15] WN4AZY[30] 'bt tnx fer the call[s]. and it will transmit CQ CQ CQ DE WN4AZY 15 WN4AZY 30 'bt tnx fer the calls.

I'm missing something; I'll play with some more and let you know.

Thanks for the help & have a great weekend!

I took this from the Help File:


Embedded Commands -- change speed, pause, and repeat
Speed changes may be inserted into a message. Speed change commands are inserted between swuare brackets []. [sNN] sets the speed to NN WPM. For example [s25] changes the speed to 25 WPM.

The Speed Revert command , [S] (no number after the S) sets the speed back to what it was before the last speed change command. For example:

CQ CQ CQ DE AN1EIS[S15] AN1EIS[S] 'BT TNX FER THE CALL OM

Supposing the speed set in the WPM control of the form is 20WPM, the speed is changed to 15 WPM after sending the call the first time, then reverts to the normal speed (20 WPM) after sending the call the second time.

Speed changes may also be performed relative to the current speed. This is great for programming function keys that may be sent at different speeds depending on the capabilities of the other operator. [S50%] sets the speed to half of what it was. [s125%] increases the speed to 125% of the current speed, or an additional 25% faster. [s100%] is a valid command, but has no effect, since the new speed is 100% of, or the same as, the old speed.

CQ CQ CQ DE AN1EIS[S75%] AN1EIS[S] 'BT TNX FER THE CALL OM

Assuming that the original speed was 20WPM, the speed would be changed to 15WPM (75% of 20WPM), then would revert to 20WPM after sending the call the second time. If the original speed was 30WPM, the speed would change to 23WPM, then back to 30WPM.

The letter S in the speed change command may be in upper or lower case. The S in the speed change command may be omitted, except for the Speed Revert command [s].

Note that the Speed Revert command [S] sets the speed back to what it was before the last speed change command. So, in this example, supposing the beginning speed was 20 WPM, the speed would end up being 15 WPM, not 20WPM.

CQ CQ CQ DE WN4AZY [15] WN4AZY[30] 'bt tnx fer the call[s].

Speed change commands will never set the speed to lower than 5 WPM or faster than 99 WPM. If you are transmitting at 5 WPM initially, [s80%] will not change to 4 WPM. It will continue transmitting at 5 WPM. If you are transmitting at 10 WPM and send [s30%] the resulting speed will be 5 WPM, not 3 WPM.

Do not forget the closing bracket ]. If you do, the rest of the message will be ignored.

So far all the combinations I've tried don't work, definitely it's user error....me.
Blink

I think if I can get how to put Dennis sample into the Expression window I can figure it out.

CQ CQ CQ DE AN1EIS[S75%] AN1EIS[S] 'BT TNX FER THE CALL OM what would I type this into the Expression box? I already tried as is and some other forms like putting " at the beginning and end.


Basically this is what I'm looking for R 5NN TU Want R at my set speed and 5NN TU at about 130% faster.

Try this

"R + [S130%] 5NN TU[S]"

I might have to many spaces but if it works you can remove and make it work for you. It did verify in the expression builder.

Hi Kyle,
It doesn't work; I've tried several combinations like that, I do the verify but then the output is not what I want.
It seems like it will just transmit what ever is between the (") . Instead of recognizing this as a speed change [S135%], it is just seeing it as part of the msg.

We'll get it someday; it's kind of fun trying to figure it out. BigGrin

I appreciate your help.
Have a great week-end!

"R [S130%]5NN TU[S]"

Should do it. My new computer is stuck in customs in Memphis. HP has my old one -- they wouldn't let me guarantee it with a credit card -- too many people doing chargebacks. I'll figure something out tho and get back to you.

Thanks,

DH

An idea -- just for bangs, try

"R [S50%]5NN TU[S]"

I am thinking that there is a problem with speeds > 100%. It isn't documented as working or not working in Help.... Also try [S5] or something. Maybe the % feature is broke.

Hey Dennis,

I tried "R [S50%]5NN TU[S]" & "R [S5]5NN TU[S]" it will just play all the characters.

I've notice anything between the (") it will just play everything in the string no matter what characters or symbols.

No biggie, I was just thinking for contest, cranking up the speed on the 5NN TU

Thanks.

Just to be sure, you ARE using LOGic's keyer that keys thru a serial port, right? WinKeyer does not support LOGic's embedded commands. It will just send them as you describe.

Got my new computer so am back in the support business hihi.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY

Ooops...you just found the problem. Unsure

Yes, I was using a K1EL's WinKeyer...Guilty

Sorry about that!!

I'll play with Logic's keyer and try to configure and share the com port.
It's fun playing with all these options.

Thanks for all your help and also Kyle.

73,
Charlie
