Got a late start and lost a lot of Prime time Friday night with a weird keying
issue with N1MM.. the F2 " exchange"key would NOT key radio 2,,, a K3,
all other functions keys worked fine,, on radio 2 and all including f2 worked
okay on Radio 1..
I did not realize it as worked fine for the first 30 min of contest,,,,I was
using radio 2 as S and P and some Cq,, I saw callers but they did not answer my
exchange...and at first I did not pay attention much as I thought it was on
their end,, and since it would  work some times  I did not stop to check it,,
BUT when Outlaws Mike KC7V called me multiple times on 40 and I would hit F2 and
he would call me again and I would reply to no avail,,,Sorry I missed you
Mike!!!
I KNEW something was wrong,,,
The N1mm entry screen looked fine during F2 exchange key press,, and even 2 tone
display window showed red on xmit,,BUT The radio would NOT key,, after searching
internet for this issue and re reading all N1mm so2r docs,  I came up with
nothing,
since f2 worked ok on radio 1 and all other F keys work fine on radio 2,, i
stated to compare the differences he command lines,,
I noticed f2 command for run did NOT have {tx} in the first of the command,, I
added that and IT fixed the issue,, don't know what it worked okay on radio 1 ,,
BUT I was in business....
I had a decent for me opening to JA and that pert of ASIA on Sat afternoon on 15
which helped make up for the lost PRIME time Friday night,,
Sunday was NOT good to EU for me and I was counting on more Mults on 20, from
there, it had been pretty productive on Sat morning,, so I slipped behind
Sunday...
BUT I still had FUN,, and still learning to Drive the new SO2R setup,, up!!! I
think I am in 2nd gear now,,still a LONG ways to go!!! 
Thanks for the Q's and again Sorry Mike,, I was not trying not blow you off!!
Go OUTLAWS!!!!
