WT4I sells a convertor that will do it. Check www.wt4i.com

WriteLog does this too, although I don't use it myself because I
use F10 differently. Here's a quote from the manual:
Insert
Sends the message corresponding to F10. (or you can change the
"SendCallExchangeKey" entry in WRITELOG.INI to use a different
function key.) Presumably you would have programmed this key to
send the callsign followed by the contest exchange. The callsign
is what’s in the CALL field, unless you have a RTTY window up.
With RTTY, the “callsign” to send comes from the RTTY window
where a call detected as a multiplier (highlighted yellow) has
priority over others.
