Hi,
I've been finding that the keyer memories in the KX1 are a bit too
small for my basic CQ call when I'm pedestrian mobile. I'd like to be
able to call "CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ DE VA3SIE/PM VA3SIE/PM K". Sometimes
when conditions are poor maybe another 3 or 4 CQs too! I have to
resort to loading the CQ calls in one memory and the "DE VA3SIE" part
in the other, which usually means there's a bit of a pause in my CQ
call.
I suggest that it would be a really nice and simple(?) feature to be
able to chain the two memories together so that the KX1 would send the
contents of the first memory and then the contents of the second, (and
repeat if so requested).
This could be signalled by the user by a double press of the memory button, eg.
Current behaviour:
Quickly Press 'A', 'B' - Send first memory.
Quickly Press 'A', 'C' - Send second memory.
Quickly Press 'A', Long press 'B' - Send first memory & repeat.
Quickly Press 'A', Long press 'C' - Send second memory & repeat.
Additional commands:
Quickly Press 'A', 'B', 'B' - Send first memory then second memory.
Quickly Press 'A', 'C', 'C' - Send second memory then first memory.
Quickly Press 'A', 'B', Long press 'B' - Send first memory then second
memory & repeat.
Quickly Press 'A', 'C', Long press 'C' - Send second memory then first
memory & repeat.
I expect the firmware is pretty cramped already though, but I can dream :)
Or maybe I just missed it in the instructions? I must say I had
missed the "beacon mode" before and was that ever a nice surprise when
I stumbled on it!

Martin.
VA3SIE.
