[Icom] IC-756PRO CW keyer memory read/write

[John E. Sweeney]

Hello , 


I have been able to read/write to the keyer memory buffers in the PRO.  
I used the CAT command tool in TRX-Manager, however Commander works too. 
Any program that will send/receive commands to the PRO will work.   

For example, to load buffer #3 with, 5NN TU,  the code string is :

FE FE 5C EO 1A 02 03 35 6E 6E 20 54 55 FD

You just have to convert the letters to ascii code.   

I think it is easier than using the tuning dial anyway. hi.  

Now, if there was only a way to send a command that would transmit a
memory buffer.  I do not think there is a command to actually transmit a
buffer.
That would be a handy macro command as  I seldom have the serial port
hooked up for CW transmit, but do have the PC control always going. 

73, 

John, N3WT
