  • Select the transmission mode (Martin 1, Scottie etc.).

  • Select CW if you want to append a morse message after the image (the message is set in Options->Configuration->CW) .
  • If the VOX check-box is set a tone will be sent before the actual image is sent so that you can use the VOX on your transceiver (if you do not have PTT control).
  • Select the template (or none) you want as an overlay (see Gallery). Only the templates that are in the Gallery will be available.

The text inputs correspond to the following macros:

  • TO: %c - call of the contacted station
  • RSV %r - RSV (radio-strength-video best is 595)
  • Op: %o - name of the operator of the contacted station
  • x %x - comment1

  • The last received image is displayed at the bottom right. It will be updated automatically as new images are received. They can be inserted if you use a template containing an "image replay object" see also Editor
    Right clicking on this image also allows you to load other images for insertion. Use the refresh button to update the main window if necessary.
