Should this be?
When you assign an Mx switch to a macro (or as a menu shortcut), the firmware checks to see if that Mx switch now has *both* tap and hold functions assigned. If not, it sets both of them to the same assignment (the macro or the menu shortcut). This avoids some potential side effects. You can always assign both tap and hold functions to a single Mx switch at any time. An Mx switch that is assigned to a macro or a menu shortcut is temporarily unavailable for message play. To restore it to message play, select CW mode, then tap Mx, tap REC, then tap Mx again. It will now function for message play in both CW/DATA and voice modes (if you have the DVR). > > In general, I find the procedure for accessing messages and macros > with > M1 - M4 to be confusing.

It just determines which of the two banks are available for use with M1-M4. But as I mentioned above, once you've assigned a given Mx switch to macros or menu shortcuts, it is not available for messages. The others will be. > > Which result should holding M4 produce, if a macro is assigned to > M4H while a > Bank 1 message is assigned to M4T? Repeated message, or macro > execution? M4 tap and hold would both produce the macro. To get repeating messages with M4 you'd have to recover its message function as explained above.
