Andy, If tapping the Footswitch (PTT) stops transmitting of the DVR in SSB...I don't see why it should be any different for CW either.
I think I would have difficulty in "learning" to use software (keyboard keys) to stop transmitting. Although I don't like to use VOX as I tend to mess up too often, if VOX was being used then maybe it too should be used to stop transmitting. The DVR in a contest is great and although I use N1MM most of the time I seldom use the function keys in the software. Obviously I am not a great contester, but I do enjoy the challenges it throws up and it certainly has helped me improve my general operating procedures and practices. I think it is fair to say it has knocked off a few bad habits I think I had gotten into. I think that puts me in your camp Andy? 73's Gary On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 6:34 PM, Brett Howard <br...@livecomputers.com>wrote: > While this is true I still feel that any KEY_IN source be it PTT or VOX > or the paddles it should interrupt the memory keyer. > > ~Brett (N7MG) > > On Fri, 2010-07-23 at 02:53 -0500, Bob Naumann wrote: > > The paddle is the most logical device to use to stop the CW from the > radio's > > memories. > > > > In a contest, you should probably be using the CW sending capability of > your > > logging program instead of the radio's memories as it most likely allows > > hitting of the Esc key on your keyboard to stop the CW which I'm sure > you'd > > find more convenient. > > > > 73, > > > > Bob W5OV > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net > > [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Andy Wood > > Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 9:57 PM > > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with > > PTT > > > > > > I have recently entered into the world of CW and participated in my first > > contest using both SSB and CW modes.
