[Elecraft] [PX3] RTFM - Was: Adafruit P/N 1737 Wireless Keyboard

[Joel Black]

Well, as I stated, I bought the keyboard and it arrived. I find it perplexing that I cannot use the F-keys for macros but I *can* use CTRL, F-key. I need to do some more reading. Works okay for what it is and why I bought it - macros for the PX3. This brings me to RTFM:

It really helps. I figured out I could program macros on the PX3 itself with its function keys. I only really wanted four to six macros which is all I had on the K3. Well, you can do that. I use FN1 - FN4 for BW control on the PX3. I figured out about the PX3 macros today and programmed FN5 and FN6 for what I was using PF1 for on the KX3.

Just thought you’d find a little humor in my continuing saga of cockpit errors. :) At least it wasn’t an expensive mistake and if I need more than six macros, I have the keyboard.
