I tried Leigh's idea of using a macro and like that for my own use. I put his simple macro under the F1 key so it is easy for me to remember and use. Unfortunately, when I showed it to a couple non-digital ham types, I got blank stares. Interestingly, their response was "why don't you just make it send when you hit the Enter key?" Oh well, I'll keep plugging away at this digital awareness thing with them. Gary - N0GW
