That's still not cut-and-dried if out-of-band can vary among countries. The only alternative would be for Hans to offer specific 328 chips for each country for each band. That's a train just begging

Seems that all that is needed is for the QCX to inhibit keying for out-of-band frequencies. This would leave it still able to listen to out-of-band stations. _._

Using either can result in confusion for non-professional CW ops. An extra microsecond or two to confirm end-of-message would facilitate clarity, especially for those of us

Anyway the real issue is not whether it is SK or VA (or EEETET), but whether they have a bar over the letters to signify that they are sent as one character. I don't know that there is any easy way to

Sheldon Most of us here in the states have no idea what to think about the VA, either! (Veterans Administration) Thanks to all, this thread has been most entertaining. I would strongly suggest that

While we're on the topic of prosigns, for a long time I thought BK was a proSign as a lot of people seem to run the two letters together and was -...-.- rather than -... -.- so maybe some were

Knowing the answer is probably "there's no room" :-) I'll ask anyways ... Hans, It'd be nice to have XON/XOFF implemented for the CAT serial port as an option to facilitate sharing of the IC2 pin 2

Gees...I always thought <BT> was "break thought". The 1929 Navy manual someone posted earlier has: AR K at the end of a message. I guess it's a whatever works kind of thing. Jack, W8TEE

From the IARU's "Ethics and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur" (found at arrl.org): SK: end of QSO: is used to end a QSO (SK = Stop Keying). ‘DIT DIT DIT DAH DIT DAH’ is the prosign

<SK> stands for something (silent key/end of transmitting). Some key RR as E N E N which makes no sense but has spread over time like the concept of VA instead of SK. Some key BK as a prosign.

Sheldon: I think Hans is down to less than 10 bytes of unused memory. Another problem is that "out of band" likely varies at different places in the world. I'm not sure if Hans could use the EEPROM

For sure about sufficient space! I've developed firmware and am painfully award of the challenges trying to "shoe horn" additional features into very limited space. Even a range check that looks for

Been Hamming for 58 years, four years as a manual Morse intercept operator in the US Navy and have almost always seen it as VA, but I really don't care which one you use, so I'll leave it to the

Allison, I thought it was Megawave, but didn't think I had the name right! I used to interface with Marshall! He spoke very highly of you, as I recall. I really enjoyed our interactions! Are you

I'm assuming the QCX knows which band it was built for; based on the stored answer to the "Select band:" question answered during initial setup. Sheldon VE1GPY

I use these for my Celestron 6" telescope and when flying with the FT891. GREAT cases for the money but a bit too heavy for SOTA operations. :(

This may require a different firmware for each band.

Not sure there is sufficient program space go support this and it varies by location.
