For<br \/>\nthose operations used to the extensive MACRO capability of the DigiPan, etc<br \/>\nthis interface will appear quite simple, but it should be adequate for normal<br \/>\nremote ops (e.g. non-contesting). Several Macros used at W4MQ are shown below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/handiham.org\/images\/cwmacro1.gif\" alt=\"Macro 1 screenshot showing CQ\" width=\"246\" height=\"201\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/handiham.org\/images\/cwmacro2.gif\" alt=\"Macro screenshot showing ANSWER\" width=\"246\" height=\"201\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">The MACRO capability supports two special<br \/>\ninsertions, illustrated in the above examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">&lt;MC&gt; &#8212; Insert My Callsign here &#8212;<br \/>\nThis is the logon callsign<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">&lt;OC&gt; &#8212; Insert the Other Callsign here<br \/>\n(This is the callsign in the QSO Call text box).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Each MACRO is settable by selecting the MACRO<br \/>\nbutton using the RIGHT mouse click.
