Nevermind, I withdraw that question… I see it was answered earlier.

Speaking of this… Using N1MM… is it possible to hit the ESC key and stop sending whatever has been sent already?

This is forcing me to use a Winkeyer and not the KY keys with my KX3…. There are times you need to stop a transmission.

Can Elecraft or any other knowledgeable individual explain why the KY commands are limited to 24 characters?
This limitation seems to come up in this list or the KX3 Yahoo list about once a month, but I've never seen (or found through searching the wider web) an explanation of what drives the 24 character limit. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who could use any larger character limit, even if it's just a few additional characters.

From my own experience, KY commands work but are clumsy, and there is a l limit to how many characters can be sent with one command, The simple switching circuit is quite easy to do and works extremely well,

All it takes is a 2N2222 transistor with base connected to the proper pin (4 or 7) thru a 1.2K (1k -1.5K) Ohm resistor, The collector goes to the plug shield and the emitter goes to the tip of the plug.

Plug this into the standard KUSB or standard serial cable.
