I use a straight key but when I need to send dashes I simply switch to
Iambic which is set to slow speed on my Anan-10 and simply hold the key
down. Not sure that will work on all radios.

If all of your antennas are on the same mast and pointed in the same
direction, we found it easiest to coordinate uW QSOs using 432MHz. Why?
Because there is less activity there and interference unlikely. Also your
uW IF frequencies are likely to be in the 2m range, and you may be
blocking the uW IF if you're trying to communicate on 2m at the same time.
Yes, telephone is also very good. And having a keyer that send automatic
dashes is also helpful so you can send CW dashes while the other station
tunes for you. Also remember that many folks do not have exact calibration
of uW frequencies. Even though many are moving to 10MHz locked signals,
GPS, Rubidium, etc, TUNE AROUND or use a bandscope SDR. GL es 73, Rick,
