Morse Memory Example

Use the XG3 Utility’s Command Tester (far right tab) to enter these
commands:

WM,^0de_w1aw:10^1:10^2:10*$60#;

Changes the level to 0 dBm, then sends ‘de w1aw’, sends carrier at 0 dBm for
10 seconds, then
changes the level to -33 dBm, sends carrier for 10 seconds, changes level to
-73 dBm, sends carrier for 10 seconds, sends SK, pauses silent for 60
seconds and repeats indefinitely.  
	
Set up PF1 for Morse memory sending: 
PF,01,01;			configure PF1 to send Morse memory. 

To play the memory, either hold down the Band+/PF1 key or send S,01; over
the serial port.

IMHO the manual is a little cryptic but follow their examples and you'll
eventually get there.  Yes you do need to send PF,01,01 to assign the
command to the PF1 button.
