Message variables
These variables can be used in programming CW messages using the F-keys. Some of these variables do not actually create output but rather perform actions at specific points in time, like the $CR symbol.
CW automation

- $SERIAL : sends QSO #
- $ZONE : sends zone nr set in contest configuration
- $LOGGEDCALL : send what's typed in callsign field
- $CORRECT : send a call correction, if any
- $INSERT and $PLUS : send messages behind INS or + key
- ^ : the halfspace character with 1/2 dot duration
- $QSOB4 : send QSOB4 message
- $F1...$F6 : send the message associated with F1 ... F6 function key
- $MSG1...$MSG12 : additional CW messages (see Alt - C)
Action
- $GUESSEXCH (or $GUESSEXCHANGE) : mimics a space bar hit (filling exchange field(s)
- $GUESSZONE : filling exchange field(s) if possible, but cursor remains in the same edit field if possible), but the cursor remains in the same edit field.
- $CR : works like hitting enter-key (log Qso)
- $SPACEBAR : works like hitting spacebar-key (move cursor to exchange field)
- $TAB work like hitting tab-key (move cursor to next field)
- $REPEAT : Reset the automatic repeat mode interval
- $GRABSPOT: grabs spot on the current frequency
SO2R
- $ALTERNATECQ (or $ACQ) : swaps primary and secondary radios and send CQ on the secondary radio
- $CQ : same as $ALTERNATECQ but does not swap radios
- $R1R1 : Set audio of Radio 1 to left and right ear
- $R1R2 : Set audio of Radio 1 to left and audio of radio 2 to right ear
- $R2R1 : Set audio of Radio 1 to left and audio of radio 1 to right ear
- $R2R2 : Set audio of Radio 2 to left and right ear
- $RESET : cancels any manual change made in the audio control
- $TR1 : Transmit on Radio 1
- $TR2 : Transmit on Radio 2
- $LATCH : sets latch mode
- $GRNR : sends gr/num of the received QTC
