Re: [WriteLog] Function keys

Chuck,

Actually that is when you should use the mouse. I think mouse click in the 
rtty window for the radio that you want to command is the quickest way to 
get the focus where you want it. The arrow keys work also but they some 
times open the edit window instead.

So I click on the rtty window for the radio that I want and hit the ESC 
key. That stops the CQ and then send the response.
