First Post - Naming a FN Key Macro on the PX3?

[Kevin McQuiggin (SFU)]

Hi All:

I am new to the list and was unable to find the answer to my question via searching, so sorry if this is a “RTFM” type of question.

I just bought a PX3.  It is great!  I have created some simple macros via the USB keyboard and saved them to the PX3 FN keys.

This works well, but the key labels are “Macro 1”, “Macro 2”, et cetera.

It would be nicer to name them “AGC Off”, “AGC On”, and the like.

I used the PX3 utility to create and name the macros, and then save them, but this does not appear to have written them back out to the PX3.  The macro list (viewed via the USB keyboard utility) still shows them as “Macro 1”, “Macro 2”.

So, how do I write macros that I create in the PX3 utility back out to the PX3 itself?

Alternatively, is there a way to name a macro from the USB keyboard facility?

Sorry in advance if this is a FAQ that I couldn’t find the answer to.

73,

Kevin VE7ZD / K7MCQ

There is a bug that never has been corrected ( that I am aware of) in the
file save /restore process.  The file name ( extension) that the file si
saved with is different than the file extension the PX3 is looking for to
restore .  I need to go back thru my notes but simply changing the extension
will allow you to save and restore.

I don't remember which is which.  If the PX3 saved the file as a TXT change
it to an XML extension
If it saved it as an XML you need to change it to TXT
