Yes, there IS a way to have separate Multipsk macro buttons just for contests without having to pres CTRL each time. Actually two ways.
1. Have TWO separate folders for Multipsk on you PC. Configure the macros in one folder for regular use, configure the other for contests. When working a contest, book the Multipsk contest folder. 2. Have just one incidence of Multipsk on you PC BUT have two sets of macros. Example, in Multipsk the Macros you use are F1 through F24. Using a text editor, create two copies of each macro you want. F1 for regular use might say "CQ CQ CQ " , F1 for contest use might say "CQ CQ Contest". Save the two sets of macros to a zip file. When you need the contest macros , unzip them to you Multipsk and have then over write you regular macro files. After the contest unzip your regular macros (which you will have also zipped) over the contest macros. This will only take a 3-5 seconds each contest, after initial creation of the two sets of macros. If you want different macro button labels . you will also need to edit N files too.
