[Elecraft] Elecraft] KX2 Evaluation Up Date

[K5WA]

Jim,
 
Regarding how to reprogram the F key messages in N1MM, simply right click on
any F key block in the N1MM window and all the messages will pop up in an
editable mode.  You can type in anything you want.  The format is this:
 
Example    F1 CQ,CQ FD de K9TF K9TF     The first CQ and anything BEFORE the
comma is shown as a label for the F key.  Everything AFTER the comma will be
sent as your message.
The first F1- F12 keys are the messages sent while in CQ mode and the second
set of F1- F12 (shown in GREEN) are the S&P messages.  You can save these
per contest by simply chosing FILE - "SAVE THESE MESSAGES TO A DIFFERENT
FUNCYION KEY .MC FILE NAME".
 
If you have any questions, let me know and I'll give you a hand.
 
Bob K5WA

I worked 15 stations on Field Day weekend with in an hour on my 160m antenna
on 20M. Worked just fine.
 
Started to use N1MM logging and attested programming F keys for CW found the
infor on line and help from K9JWV got it working through only ONE USB port.
Do not know what the KY codes are or where they came from.  Some of the
function keys on the program needs to be reprogrammed in N1MM and have not
found out where or what to put in yet.  Progress is slow but making
progress.
 
Showed off my New KX2 at about 4 Field Day sites and most were impressed on
the size and what it could do. I did not have N1MM working at the time.
Maybe I would have gotten  more jaws dropped if I had that Canadian program
running. No one afford to connect my KX2 to their Field Day antenna and give
it a ride.  I found that strange.  Maybe I should have offered  Found that a
bit strange
 
Now if I can switch the keys with Windows 10 and just let the F buttons work
like F buttons and not  do brightness and the sort, I will be in good shape.
