[Elecraft] Fwd: [FlexEdge] Field Day, Focus and Contest, Skins?

[Steve Ellington]

The below is correct except for the number 5. I set all my keyboard 
shortcuts to 'none' but if I hit 5 the K3 jumps to 6 meters!

"If you set all of the keyboard shortcuts in the PowerSDR/IF
Setup>Keyboard tab to "none", then typing while you're in the focus of
the panadapter will not get you in trouble. "
