Gotta agree with Randy. Bill's analysis here confirms it to me that a one
by two is the way to go. My software is set up to automatically start
sending a call after four characters. With the one by ones, nothing happens
and then I realize that I have to hit the "enter" bar, and that for sure
takes longer than seven-tenths of a second. For my money, a one by two or
an easy two by one is the better way to go.,

The difference between a 1X1 call sent twice and a 2X3 sent once is only
0.72 seconds:

This is assuming both stations are sending at the same speed. If the 1X1
station is sending at 38 WPM
and the 2X3 station is sending at 30 WPM the 1X1 station is the more
efficient and is avoiding any
confusion as to whether he has a 1X1 call (less common) or a character is
being dropped from a 1X2
call.
