I'm embarassed to admit this but I have a question: In CW pileups, I usually have M1 programmed to send my callsign and M2 to just send the standard "callsign 5NN TU". The thread on ergonomics made me think about the cramp I get in my hand holding it up by the top of the rig.
Has anyone ever thought about remoting out the M1-M4 buttons? If it's in the manual, I apologize; I'm not running on all cylinders today. I used to do this all from my computer but I'm getting RF in my shack lately (after winter detuned my vertical antenna) and I started getting stray characters being sent. I also am very, very bad at using paddles and when the cable to my Bencher got intermittent I just disconnected it. Last time everything went haywire (before I programmed the memory buttons) I had to run around the shack looking for my straight key after some stray RF rebooted my laptop during a contact with W1AW/something. That contact went from 25WPM down to about 10WPM really quickly. -- Hisashi T Fujinaka - [email protected] BSEE(6/86) + BSChem(3/95) + BAEnglish(8/95) + MSCS(8/03) + $2.50 = latte ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
