I have an old EW B model flight recorder with no manual. Is anyone
familiar
with this device willing to post a quick list of the keyboard functions?
I have figured out the basics and can get it to record from my GPS - I
just
want to know how to access all of the functions, or as many as someone
might
be willing to spend the time typing out.
