Thats a very good point - i do feel that by diving my KISS i'm much more in 'tune' with my unit, more so perhaps than using a newbie using a eCCR. I would expect this to carry over, if i ever do move to a eCCR.

When I took my MOD 1 on the inspiration, my instructor made us fly manually for the first 3 days of the course,in order to build up the habit of checking the handsets every minute. It was a pain at the time, but I think it was a good approach, forcing us to develop that habit. The 4th day on auto was a breeze by comparison.
Of course, now, I just dive my KISS, so am on manual all the time.
