KX3 one touch message buttons.

[Sullivan, Mike C]

I tried the one button messages for FD, not a huge change or time saver but it was very nice to have.
Thanks for adding it as an option for those that want to use it (just in time for FD too!!).

I am using KX3 with computer logger called TR4W. I have put couple of macros
into F1 and F2 an these activate two  SSB messages. Works pretty well and I
do not use no buttons on the radio at all. Logger also does band changes,
PTT and CW through just one USB port.

Another excellent way to do messages for contests is to feed the mic
input with the output of your computer sound card and use your contest
logger to play the messages. I made up a cable with a 15dB attenuator to
make that connection (two resistors inside the connector shells).

I do some QRP CW contesting (560 Qs over the weekend single-op, SO2R at
home). I did that with a pair of K3s and the YCCC SO2R box. To contest
with my KX3, I use a K1EL Winkey USB that is controlled by my Contest
Logger (I use N1MM, but most contest loggers support WinKey). All it
takes is an RCA to 1/8-in cable, with the keying line wired to tip and
sleeve. I plug my paddle into the WinKey to send fills.

I'm pleased to see one-touch message buttons, but I'll use them for
casual DXing, not for contests. Like Igor, I want a contest logger to
keep the log for me, check for dupes, etc.
