[CQ-Contest] Some ideas for the N1MM CQ Button

[w1rm at comcast.net]

Thanks to N1MM, all manner of code can be put into your function keys.  Of
late, my typing has gotten a bit sloppy and I can manage to hit the `/~ (top
left under the ESC Key).  For me, that key will turn on the B VFO.  If you
hit it, you are now listening on the B VFO as well as A.  Not something you
really want, and if you don't realize what's happening, it can sound as if
you have a CQer or pileup on your CQ frequency.

 

That happened to me this afternoon.  All of a sudden, I had DK9PY calling CQ
on top of me!  And he wouldn't QSY!  I put up with it for a while then
looked at the K4.  I saw both VFO A and B lit!  Groan.

 

I fixed the problem by adding a little code to my F1 key.  The code,
{CATA1ASC RT1;}{CATA1ASC AB0;}{CLEARRIT}, does 3 things.  RT1 turns the RIT
on, AB0 sets vfo B to VFO A and clearrit does just that.

 

Now, If I hit the `~ key, I will be listening on my CQ frequency in both
VFO's
