Ease of use has its place, but the more one actually uses a key rather than merely pushing a button the better one's sending becomes (and there are many poor senders out there).
During the Missouri Bicentennial Special Event a few years ago I handed out 1000 Qs by hand-paddling every contact and exchange while using N1MM exclusively for logging. I wouldn't think a couple dozen field contacts would be much of a stress. Personal satisfaction if nothing else. 73/72, Kent K9ZTV Jefferson City, MO > On Jun 1, 2025, at 11:32 AM, William Santos via Elecraft > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I frequently use the MSG function on my KX2 and KX3 while in the field. > > I'd like to have a one button option to trigger a MSG.
