[Elecraft] [P3SVGA] Missing Fn key display on P3 after installing P3SVGA

[Wright, Robert]

Hi Bob,

A dyslexic typo on my part.  Jim is W4ATK.

The post is here: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3SVGA-data-RTTY-FSK-D-tp7560370p7560415.html 

Here is the crux of it:
" I have divided the 50 Text message capability into 4 groups CW (12) PSK31(12) RTTY (12) and an auxiliary group of 12. They are accessed as F1 thru F12 (CW), <SHIFT> F1 thru <SHIFT> F12 (PSK31), <ALT> F1 thru <ALT> F12 (RTTY), and the aux group, <CTRL> F1 thru <CTRL> F12.  Each function key carries basically the same message, just "personalized"  for the particular mode, so other than remembering the correct pre-key, F! is always "CQ". etc. For the contest I used the aux group, <ALT> Function Keyes personalized for the Grid Dip. " 

I'm also interested in other's creative uses for keyboard macros for the P3SVGA.  For instance, I read somewhere that when Elecraft was demoing the P3SVGA at a tradeshow, they had the up and down arrow keys controlling frequency in ten Hertz steps.

Hi Bob,

              I tried to find "Jim's (W4AKT) thoughts" on the P3 macro keys but was unsuccessful in my search. Do you have a link to them or were they in a 
reflector post you saved and could forward to me?    Also possible I've searched 
for the wrong call as W4AKT is in QRZ with the name Richard and he signed his bio as Rick.

             Like you I look at what others have done and it leads to many "Why didn't I think of that" moments.

73,
