In response to my post I received some e-mail, all proposing to use an
external pad (e.g. from www.genovation.com).
Unfortunately all these external solutions are very impractical for portable
use in the field (e.g. SOTA).
May be these proposals were triggered in this direction by the name KX-Pod
used, hi.

Let me therefore clarify my wish as follows:
I would rather prefer a CONTROL BAR, e.g. L7xW3xH2cm
- attachable in place of the KXPD3
- 10 programmable push buttons in 2 lines (style KX3)
- designation e.g. F1..F10 (short press) and M1..M10 (long press)
- without a tuning knob
- integrated touch pad, e.g. similar http://hamshop.cz/data/items/182_65.pdf
- set of sensor "paddles" at the left AND right side of the Control Bar
- sensor "paddles" fully integrated: no protruding parts!
- control cable to ACCx as short/clever/hidden as possible
- as lightweight and watertight as possible

73,
Heinz HB9BCB

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Msg send

[Nick Kennedy]

Yes, FAST PLAY is great. I used it on QRPTTF.

Barry's request #2 is high on my list too. For K3 and KX3.  Repeating:


2. When in message repeat mode, allow for a single paddle dit to silently
terminate repeat mode (without actually transmitting or generating
sidetone).  This would allow you to copy someone answering your CQ without
missing a beat.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Msg send

I would rather prefer a KX-Pod
- no-compromise single button functions
- without a tuning knob
- attachable in place of the KXPD3
- very lightweight (e.g. for SOTA)
- using a control cable to ACCx

Have you ever thought of such a thing, Wayne?

Hi,

and in addition:
With the Px3 you can program 8 messages with one push of a button.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Msg send

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

Barry,

You can set the KX3 up for single button message send. 

* FAST MESSAGE PLAY: A long-hold of MSG (~3 sec) puts the KX3 into FAST PLAY 
mode. In this mode, the BAND+, BAND-, and FREQ_ENT switches can be used to 
play/repeat messages 1, 2, and 3 immediately, without the need to first tap 
MSG. To turn off fast play, hold MSG for ~3 seconds again, or turn the KX3 off 
and back on. Notes: (1) In voice modes (using the built-in DVR), only messages 
1 and 2 are available, corresponding to BAND+ and BAND- in fast-play. (2) At 
present, message chaining is only available in CW modes (with both normal and 
fast-play).

[Elecraft] KX3 CW Msg send

[Barry N1EU]

After spending 7 hours operating in QRPTTF on Saturday with my KX3, I wish
for 2 things:

1. Single button press to send cw message instead of two
2. When in message repeat mode, allow for a single paddle dit to silently
terminate repeat mode (without actually transmitting or generating
sidetone).  This would allow you to copy someone answering your CQ without
missing a beat.

73, Barry N1EU
