Hi all,
The latest KX2 field-test firmware provides four programmable functions, PF1-PF4, accessed using the PFn switch. This feature was inspired by both the original KX2 field testers and responses to our recent question about additions to the KX line.
Having four programmable functions rather than one really helps. The KX2 has fewer switches than the KX3, making it a bit more dependent on the menu for often-used functions.
If you’d like to give this new release a try, let me know. (Which menu entries would you assign to PF1 through PF4?)

* FOUR PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS: The KX2 now has four programmable functions, PF1-PF4, rather than one. These can be used to quickly access often-used menu entries. To set up a programmable function, locate the desired menu entry, hold PFn, then tap any of ‘1’ through ‘4’. Exit the menu. From then on, the menu function can be accessed using the associated PFn switch.
If a menu entry has only two values (such as ON/OFF), accessing it via a programmable function will select the alternate value, then exit the menu immediately. This is especially useful with menu entries such as DUAL RX, VOX MD, ALT MD, and ATU DATA. (ATU DATA is described in the rev. 2.73 release notes.)
