:::: I'm still a little baffled by your question. This is a Writelog contest
software reflector.
How does your question relate to Writelog software and contesting?
There may be other software applications to accomplish your needs.
For instance, Ham Radio Deluxe is an amazing suite of radio applications that
you may be able to utilize for all your non contest needs.
Anybody else able to help here?

Example 1: If I you have voice memory on the radio (VM1TX) you can use that as
the DVK instead of recording wave files and having to use an audio interface
box. (Think of Field Day, or operating in a remote location and eliminating
bringing extra stuff that needs to interfaced.)
Example 2: A lot radios can send CW via the KY command (Kenwood, Yaesu,
Flexradio, etc.) As much as I love my K1EL keyer there are times when I don't
want to bring all kinds of additional boxes and cables when I operate.
At my QTH I have multiple rigs with full integration with plenty of black
boxes+ cables. When my sons and I go camping or go out of town and want to
operate it is nice to have a more minimal configuration if most of that
functionality is already integrated into the "go radio." There is something
nice about grabbing the Netbook, a rig, and an "antenna in box" and hitting the
road. (I don't want to feel like an IT guy everywhere that I go.)
Can we put a CAT command into the Macro memory positions?

Wirtelog uses the F2,F3,F4 keys to send the wav files to the pc audio output
jacks as you know (?)
And similarly to send the CW memories.
All that else that WL uses the CAT functions for are rig control fx and PTT.
What other commands are you looking to have?
