New KX2 firmware with 4 programmable functions; need testers

Chuck Guenther
Beta firmware v. 2.75 works very nicely, Wayne.  Thanks for this!

My choices for Pfn are:
PF1 = SUB on/off
PF2 = RF Gain
PF3 = AGC THR
PF4 = Amp Hrs

"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?)

73,

Re: New KX2 firmware with 4 programmable functions; need testers

Good news and thanks!
Looking fwd for this great improvement to be download-redy for the rest of
us.
I am a new (up to 2 months) KX2 user so the first things I found myself
missing is more Pfn buttons, at least 2. Now there going to be 4 of them!
So my first set would be PF1 =VOX, PF2= XIT, PF3=BKLIGHT, PF4=PS. Using the
radio car mobile a lot I already use the existing Pfn for the VOX in CW
mode, and the XIT is the second mostly needed. I will finaly decide on the
last two after some more time of variety usage.
