[Elecraft] KX3 Additional functions in Menu CW WGHT

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hello Gerald,

I did not know this... I don't use any software to control my K2 or KX3 
but I was aware that the @ character exists in Morse code and therefore 
I assumed it should not be used as a control character. I did not look 
it up in  the manual. If this could be solved in the KX3 firmware then 
your request is ok, of course. I also did not know that the software you 
use is no longer supported by it's developers. Pity that these 
characters cannot be picked and set in an initialisation file so that 
the user can decide what key sequences can be used for what function.
Good luck in finding a solution!

Best 73,
Peter - PA0PJE
