Run mode and ESM

In the CW fieldsets the console sends CW for you as you log, in the style of N1MM+'s Enter Sends Message. You never leave the callsign field.

Run CW, for everyday pileups

The Run CW fieldset is for running outside a contest. It has Callsign, RST Rcvd and RST Sent, and under them the two messages Enter and Shift-Enter will send right now, which change as the QSO moves on:

The messages are yours to edit under Tools → Console Settings → Macros → CW Run Mode Macros, with substitutions such as {CALL} and {MYCALL}; Reset Run Mode Macros to Defaults restores the standard set.

While running:

• Esc stops the CW being sent.
• Alt-← and Alt-→ tune 10 Hz down or up; add Shift for 100 Hz.
• Check Log shows Super Check Partial matches for a partial call.

ESM in contests

The CQ WW CW, WPX CW and IARU (in CW) fieldsets use ESM. The two lines under the fields show what Enter and Shift + Enter send next, with a caret marking the one that fires (hold Shift to see it move). The button beside them toggles RUN (green) and S&P (orange).

Running:

1. Enter with an empty callsign sends TEST and your call.
2. Type the caller; Enter sends their call, 5NN and your exchange, and moves to the exchange field. Shift-Enter asks ? instead.
3. Type the exchange; Enter sends TU and your call and logs the contact.

Search and pounce:

1. Enter sends your callsign.
2. When they answer, type the exchange; Enter sends 5NN and yours.
3. Enter again (Log It) logs the contact; Shift-Enter repeats your exchange.

The phone fieldsets have the same flow without the CW: Enter moves through the fields and logs.
