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

[Rick Prather]

Bob, 

While I have a few keyboard macros pre-programmed I haven't been near as diligent as you have.  Now you have me motivated to basically copy your approach and also to set up several K3 Macros.

The question comes to me though about the possible volatility of these macros.

I wonder if the software guru's have considered or are working on a way to save the keyboard "load" to a thumb drive the way we can currently save an image?

Seems like that would be a great option if possible.

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.
