External Keyboard/Numeric Keypad - microHAM micro2R u2R User Manual

NOTE: The keyboard/Keypad must be a native PS/2 device. A USB device with PS/2 adapter will
not work properly.
micro2R includes the ability to generate FSK or CW, record and play CW, FSK or VOICE messages using
a PS/2 keyboard or numeric keypad connected to the PS/2 jack. A numeric key pad is sufficient to record
and play CW and DVK messages, control CW speed (WPM) or play a serial number message. "Live" CW
or FSK (RTTY) requires a full keyboard.
Switching modes:
The keyboard or keypad can be used to switch Router's operating mode (DVK/CW Keyer/RTTY Keyboard).
The keystrokes used to select mode are defined on Router's Keyboard tab.
Playing messages:
A message is started by pressing F1-F9 on the keypad or 1-9 on the number pad. A message can be
aborted with the ESC key or the zero key on the number pad. Messages may be made to repeat (loop) by
pressing DEL (period) on the number pad while the message is playing. The default (minimum) wait time
after ending a message and starting again is one second. The pause time may be set from 1 to 9 seconds
by entering the desired delay immediately after pressing DEL. For example, 1 <DEL> 5 will start message
number 1 and cause it to repeat with five a second delay. Pressing zero (0) will terminate a message loop.
Recording messages:
Recording is started (and stopped) by pressing NUM LOCK. To start recording, press NUM LOCK followed
by the number of the message to be recorded. To abort a message without saving, press zero on the
number pad or Escape. To end recording and save the message press NUM LOCK.
In CW, micro2R stores characters as they are echoed from the internal WinKey2: only those characters
actually transmitted are stored. However, CW messages may be recorded from either paddles or the
keyboard. The gap "|" and other WinKey commands cannot be entered from the keyboard but may be used
in messages loaded from Router's CW/FSK Messages tab.
In FSK, all characters entered from the keyboard are stored.
