The final method is to leave a PTT microphone connected to the mic jack and press the microphone's button to generate a carrier in CW mode. Then, however, the microphone and cord will tend to get in your way while you are working CW, and in the case of a hand mic, you have to grab the microphone in order to press the button. This is less ergonomic than simply pressing a stationary button on the front of the rig. In addition, I don't like to leave a microphone plugged into the rig, because non-ham visitors are always tempted to pick it up and say "10-4, good buddy!". This irks me to no end! | The final method is to leave a PTT microphone connected to the mic jack and press the microphone's button to generate a carrier in CW mode.
