Hardware

RF Board: mcHF 0.6.3

Describe the issue:

Loving the radio, but as I contemplate taking it out for a POTA activation, I went looking for CW keyer memories and how to activate them and interrupt the tx sequence. Uhhh. Buehler? Anybody? Doesnt exist.

I'd like to propose a new feature that provides CW keyer memories and operation, potentially to include:

a new major section of the menu for all the relevant settings
minimum 4 memories represented in that menu, each capable of taking strings of 100 characters long
a way to choose transmit mode - single, max # of transmits, unlimited # of transmits
choose the max # of transmits
select a memory to activate for tx from a ui key press combination
implement the ui key press combination to start transmitting
a means of interrupting the cw memory transmission via either the cw key or the mic PTT, or certain ui board key presses

Your relevant settings

CW memories already exist. Long press M1 https://github.com/df8oe/UHSDR/wiki/Operating-Manual

In fact they do. I wonder if that part of the MAIN operating manual and the quick operating guide could use some updates to point to the RTTY/CW/Digimodes section of the manual?
