At first I was confused because the phrase "trigger character" does not appear in the P3 or K3 manuals. I guess you are connecting a USB keyboard to a P3's USB port (P3SVGA option must be installed), then using the P3 macro entry window (Ctrl-Alt-M) to save a macro and assign it to "Recall Key" on the PC keyboard. > F1-F8 work fine as triggers, it appears that his K3S/P3, both running > current software, does not accept F9-F12 as trigger keys. Are there any (perhaps empty) text messages currently assigned to F9-F12? Press Ctrl-Alt-T to enter the Text Message Entry window. Maybe there's a conflict?

It should work the same as the legacy serial port connection. Have you tried a different USB keyboard on the P3? 73, Bob, N6TV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
