CW0 (CQ $MC TEST) - sent after QSO save
CW1 ($C $R $MX or $C $MR$MN $MW) - sent after callsign
CW2 ($B TU QRZ) sent after qso number, exchange or locator

Only enter in input line runs CQx dependent on context.

If rig is connected, it clears RIT after QSO save (supported only on subset of radios)

QRG for skeds

Set here your clean frequency or frequency where you call CQ. Other operators will see it when sending sked to you. So sked will be settled on your qrg. Format is free (.262 etc.)

Fix QRG

If you use CAT/CI-V cable to communicate with your radio, you can fix frequency offset on band. Ideal if you use transverter to higher bands, tucnak show real not IF frequency.
