hi Dave - That was me, not Ted. No worries. Sometimes it hard to sort out. The full QSK idea sounds worth trying once you get it all working. Since most of my contesting is RTTY I hadn't considered that. The interlaced CW and phone transmit sounds crazy but could work - as long as it switches

In RTTY contests we can define the 2 receivers as 2 different radios (2 instances of K3 in ports using same com port) I have not heard of anyone doing this in any other mode and certainly not in mixed mode. But it might be possible for the WriteLog code to be updated to allow this. Doesn't happen

You know, it might just work. You have 2 entry windows and 2 rigs defined. I am not home till Fri but will try it it then. Have to define 2 sets of messages using only what keys you get. Would be killer if it works. Jim K0XU Sent from my Xoom tablet On Dec 24, 2012 5:01 AM, Jim Rhodes

Sounds cool, and as noted is something we can do at least for RTTY, and might work for other modes and mixed modes. But given that you have to listen between CQs, that's a long time between CQs in each mode: CW-listen-phone-listen-CW-listen-phone... I think you'd be better off just calling a

Thanks Ted. I wanted to do SO2V mixed mode with a single K3 during the 10 meter contest. I had not seriously done a 10 meter contest in a while and I was hoping that this was already perfected in N1MM or Writelog. I played around with it for a little while but I could not get it to work

Hi Ted, But given that you have to listen between CQs, that's a long time between CQs in each mode: CW-listen-phone-listen-CW-listen-phone... I think you'd be better off just calling a tighter cycle in one mode at a time, or using true SO2R with a second radio/antenna (if possible). Just my

I was hoping that there would be dueling CQ mode in Writelog when operating both CW and Phone during the recent 10 meter contest.  During slow times, I wanted Writelog to alternate log entry focus between CW and Phone while alternately transmitting CQ in CW using the K1EL keyer, and then in
