[Elecraft] [KX2] Using the new 4 PF keys

[Rick Tavan]

The KX2 is a superb example of user interface compression, providing much
of the functionality of KX3 (and even K3) in a tiny box. But there are a
few things relegated to menus that I tend to do often. The KX2 firmware
upgrade to allow four PF keys instead of just one came a few days before my
KX2 and I am very grateful for it. So far I've just been testing my KX2 in
the home shack, so what I do with the keys may change when I get out in the
field. Here is how I'm allocating the four keys so far:

1 - ATU ON/OFF
2 - VOX ON/OFF (= TEST function of K3)
3 - DUAL RX ("SUB") ON/OFF
4 - RF GAIN ADJ (probably unnecessary in the field with lousy antennas)
      In the field I would probably change PF4 to BKLIGHT ON/OFF.

Any better ideas?
