Ken,
I think it is a great idea. I am especially excited about the
possibility of sending using the paddle (because I enjoy doing it, even
if it is not the "best" way to operate in a contest) and having what I
send show up in the callsign field. I imagine that getting just the
callsign there and not the other stuff that also gets sent may be a bit
tricky. As for the speed setting I think that I would usually want the
keyer paddle sending speed to be the same as the canned messages and
keyboard inputted sending, though perhaps not always. Often I find it is
handy to have an alternate (usually slower) speed keyer available for
operators or band conditions that require it.
Also thanks for the file you have sent for me to check with my Ten-Tec
OmniVI. I have not yet unzipped the file and tried it out. My unzip
utility is lost somewhere. I'll let you know as soon as I try it out.
Thanks, Ken N6KB
