MULTIPLE F-Key use AND Re: [TRLog] Re: Lastcqfreq

[Barry Martz]

Hi Ron

About a week ago, I, for the first time, realized the you can program
multiple functions to the F keys!
I programmed lastcqfreq and cqmode into the same F key.  I had to hit the
key twice to make both
work, but it DID work.  I thought I would throw that out here just in case
someone was flipping by
this message and hadn't realized it -- like me!!!
