F7 key not working

Hi

 

Here's a knotty little issue, my F7 key has stopped working in Euroscope, I cannot switch scopes with F&.

 

The keyboard is brand new well a month old and works fine all keys function as they should.

 

Could this be a setting issue somewhere. i thought this function was hard coded into ES.

You could try setting it as your PTT-button to see if ES is able to grab it. Then set PTT/2. PTT/ASEL to something different.

The function is hard-coded to capture the F7, but if the keyboard is not supplying it, then it will not work. Do as Jonas suggested and tell us the result.

Are there any other functions mapped to the F keys? On my keyboard there's an "F lock" key that switches the functions of the F keys, so F7 for example becomes a play/pause button, F8 is stop and so on. Obviously if it's switched, the keys won't do their normal "F" functions.

Hi guys

 

I checked by trying to configure the F7 key to the ptt, that wouldn't work, I check edall the other f keys and they worked perfect;y. The only thing left to do was take off the key by prying it off with a handy letter opener and by pushing a pen against the membrane could see that the f7 function was working perfectly. I replaced the key and all is well again.

 

Damn keyboard, just a sticky moment.

This needs to go in the FAQ.

 

Q: My F7 key is not working. How can I fix it?

 

A: Pry the key off with a letter opener and replace it.

Not forgetting to have a handy letter opener near by. Mine is a replica of Excalibur.
