How to assign a Maestro F-key to toggle "Breakin"?

Steve K9ZW

How do I set up an F-Key to toggle my Maestro-C's "Breakin" function?

Fairly simple task that otherwise is a couple menu levels down that should be one's fingertips.

Or did I miss it?

I don't think that is a function that can, currently zbe assigned to one of the Function Keys. You might try adding this in the Ideas section as a feature request.

Hi Steve,

I think James is right, that's not curretly possible. However the workaround I use when I want to do a bit of CW parctise or warmup is to just tap whichever slice TX button is litup red. With no TX enabled on any slice I can do my CW warmup excercises with sidetone coming fron the Maestro.

Prior to SmartSDR release 4.1.5 there was a bug that meant if you changed the CW keyer speed whilst the TX was disabled, the sidetone would stop but that appears fixed for me in 4.1.5.

Thank you WD5GWY and G4IVV for quick replies.

I have posted in "New Ideas" a request to add "Breakin" to the Maestro F-Key options.

As a CW-learner I'm often doing echo-back practicing, and would hate to make the world suffer with my "learner's fist!"
