   I use NA in my mobile operations, but I do not use the keyer function. 
Either my radio or my electronic keyer and paddle operation does the keying. It 
is sometimes brutal, especially on rough roads, but I secure the paddles and 
use the laptop.
   What I usually do is before the contest starts, go in and make a 
NY4Nxxxx.QDF file (xxxx being the four letter county abbreviation) for every county I 
am going to work. Then, when I switch counties, I exit out of the county file I 
am in, go out of NA all together, then start over by typing in the new county 
file.  A few keystrokes and I am ready to go.
   This takes about one minute. Works fine for me so far, although there is 
most likely an even better and quicker way to do it. I'm a glutton for 
punishment. GL to all. Jeff  NY4N.
