- $F1...$F7: send the message associated with F1 ... F7 function key
- $INSERT and $PLUS: send messages in [INS] or [+] key
- $LOGGEDCALL: send what's typed in callsign field
- $MSG1...$MSG12: additional CW messages (see Modify additional messages)
- $MYCALL: sends callsign set in contest configuration
- $MYNAME: sends operator name, set in contest configuration
- $QQSLC: Quick QSL message based QSOs made (see Intelligent Quick QSL)
- $QQSLT: Quick QSL message based on time passed (see Intelligent Quick QSL)
- $QSOB4: send QSOB4 message (see Modify standard messages)
- $RST: sends report from RST field (normally 5NN)

- $REPEAT: reset the automatic repeat mode interval
- $GRABSPOT grabs spot on the current frequency

- $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 2 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 primary radio
- $TR2: transmit on secondary radio
