[Elecraft] P3 function buttons

[Fred Jensen]

Well Dave ...

I have a number of keys on my K3 to which I can assign macro functions. 
I have one assigned ... PF1=SPKR+PH ON/OFF.  I have the 8 soft-keys on 
my P3 of which 4 are assigned so far [in 3 years], and I use only two, 
and rarely them.  I have 8 macro keys on my Pigknob plus the additional 
two on the knob.  I have one key assigned, which I use sporadically.  I 
occasionally use the knob to switch between tuning rates, I could 
certainly live without it since the K3 already offers that option in spades.

For me, any more "programmable macro buttons" would be gross overkill.  YMMV
