This is one of my favorite TR features. Every TR-first-timer I ever
seen, though, gets thrown off and wants to turn it off. After a contest
or two, I suggest they try it again, and they almost always fall in love
with it. The same is true with Auto Send.
I embed a "clear RIT" command in my QSL message and never have any
problems.
The only change I might consider is changing the default to false, just
like Auto Send.

I can live with it, Ron. I find tuning in CQ answers with the RIT from
the
keyboard using my pinkies to be a stroke of genius on Tree's part.
For anyone else's edification, I don't have so many programmed messages
that
I ever get into the ALT-Function keys. So what I did was to put only
the
RIT-ZERO command in ALT-F1 for both CQ and EXCHANGE. This means that I
can
always just zero the RIT from the computer keyboard. This makes the
impact
of moving the RIT while keying down minimal, anyway.
I am using all Kenwood radios. Can't speak for anything else.
Mark, N5OT
