[WriteLog] Kenwood RIT control

[Dave Henderson]

Dear Mr Obvious, ...long time listener ..first time caller  ..(with 
apologies to Bob and Tom)

I am recent refuge here from TRLog. After using Writelog in a couple of 
contests and I find that I have made the transition fairly smoothly most of 
my "withdrawal symptoms" as an ex-TRLog (10 year user) are now gone.


One thing I really do miss as a avid CW contester was TRLog's ability to 
move my Kenwood (TS-950/870/850) RIT up and down from the keyboard using 
the left and right shift keys.  This allowed complete control of the run 
process form the keyboard without moving ones hands back and forth from the 
radio to the keyboard and back again. This might not seem like a big deal 
to many of you but after running CW  Q's at 150/hour for  a couple of hours 
you will begin to appreciate the significance of not halving to reposition 
your hands on the keyboard after tunning the RIT when sorting out a mini 
pile up.

Anybody got any ideas as to how this might be implemented in Writelog by 
writing some kind of keyboard macro or something or do we need to add this 
to the wish-list and wait for it to get incorporated in a  new release some 
day?It is obviously part of the Kenwood control set as near as I can figure 
out from reading the Kenwood manual.

All thoughts and suggestions welcome.
