<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The function keys of HP Windows
8/10 PC are factory set so that to send CQ from Win-Test needs two
keys to be pressed, a <fn> + <function key F1>.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Win-Test users want to hit F1 to send "CQ
test", the <fn> should not be used.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">What to look for: BIOS set-ups include
a set-up called "action keys mode" which has a parameter "mode"
with two alternative values. The value of the parameter is set in factory
as "abled". It has to be changed to "disabled". Now function keys are
prioritized in the way Win-Test users like, and just one hit of the funtion key
is needed and cheerful CQ contest goes out.</font></div>
<div> </div></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">HP gives their way of doing this in this link, tks
to Bob N6TV:</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">One more note: as N6TV pointed to me, the CW
monitor sound of Windows 10 is not ok, but having configured the interface
port right Win-Test sends good CW to the transceiver, K3 in my
case.</font> <font face="Arial" size="2">I have not tested all possible usages
of keys so far. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I bought a Windows 8.1 PC for pure contest
work, I then upgraded to Windows10 with some try-outs.</font></div>
