Initiating the FK dialog

If you press the gray FK button, the TNC displays the soft keys you can
use to initiate an FK dialog—see the following table. Press the FK
button a second time to deselect the soft keys.

If you initiate the FK dialog with one of these soft keys, the TNC shows
additional soft-key rows that you can use for entering known
coordinates, directional data and data regarding the course of the
contour.
