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

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!"

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
