How to insert QSO data into a CW memory?

[n0uk]

Having referred to both the standalone documentation and the internal Help pages, I am struggling how I can cause a CW memory to automatically include some element from the logged data into the content of what gets played back from a memory.

e.g. Memory data: <THEIR_CALL> <MYCALL> <REPORT> <SERIAL-NO> FRED MN

Where the data in <> brackets gets replaced by the value in the current QSO being logged. Obviously this is for sending a customised contest exchange.I am sure there must be a reference to such referable elements but I just can't find it!

Both have the same content.

I don't understand your intention, an example could be useful for me. You are talking about the contest CW memories? (There are other placed with memories) There is no exchange to/from saved data, just to the logging fields. But I'm not clear about your question.

Thanks for the quick reply, Tom.

I believe I have figured out what how to do what I wanted.

I found that using the words in <> brackets in my macro definitions, that created the effect i wanted. It just wasn't clear to me from the doc's that that was what I needed to do, and that I had to create those macros even for pre-defined contest configurations.

I think I’m having the same problem that you experienced when trying to automatically transfer the tagged data in the CW Tools dialogue box into one of CW Memories so I can use my keyboard Function Keys F1,F2, etc to send the CW memory content which will be an auto reply containing the other station’s callsign, name, etc.
like you I tried using the format: <THEIR_CALL> <MYCALL> <REPORT> <SERIAL-NO> FRED MN; but when I send the memory content it literally send the above text in code letter by letter NOT the related data from the CW Tools box.
I also tried the format: %THEIR_CALL %MYCALL etc; which I saw in another online document. Again the keyer sends the text verbatim without substituting the tag data from CW Tools Box.

I note from you comment dated 7 Nov 2020 that you have got the CW Memories working with the Tag data. Can you tell me how you formatted the memory contents to make it work please?

Thanks

I gave up in this battle, i.e. to put things like <his call> in memory places in normal logging sessions (not contest). Thus I use this facility in the smartSDR Mac directly, far easier in this matter., unless somebody can suggest some shortway that I am not able to find out.

There is no feature like this.
