I don't see the "fast play" feature referred to in the manual. Is there some other documentation that explains the "fast play" feature of the KX3?
It's not clear to me how one would choose which message one wanted with this feature. As with the "repeat" feature, you still are required to push two buttons: One (MSG), then two (number button representing message in question). So I don't think this fits my use case. Any other ideas? Bill, OP KN6UDK > The KX3 has this capability. It’s called Fast Play. To activate, hold the MSG > button for approximately 3 seconds.
