    I stumbled on this hidden feature that I just had to share. Using your mic up down button you can use them to trigger your TX voice/cw/rtty memories. How sweet is that? Here is quick demo and how to set it up.


    PS: Ignore the mode. I was too lazy to redo the video. :)

    Would be great for POTA too.

    It's feature that should have been in the firmware from day 1. I'm so glad I found it. No more lugging around my Sota Beams box.

    Part of firmware 1.40 as I recall. It is great for CQ routine on cw. Would like one of those SOTA beams boxes, but they appear to be unobtainium at the current time

    I didn't read the firmware release notes. One does have to dig a bit for that feature. It sure is a nice feature though. Now they need to add CW/RTTY decode.

    On a slow band, it’s wonderful to trigger the “CQ memory” sitting back in your chair rather than reaching for the screen repeatedly. It’s a super nice new feature

    RTTY decode is already available
    Cw decode — easier to just learn cw. Those things seldom decode properly anyway.

    I must have missed the RTTY decode. As for CW for I would say for some it would be very helpful. especially during any CW contest when all you hear are stations running 30+ wpm. Not many people including me can copy well at 25+.

    Should be on the 7610 also?

    They decode just fine. The problem is, unless the sender has proper weighting and spacing, the decoder won't "smooth out the bumps" of a sloppy "fist".
