VP 8000 Soft Keys

How do I disable them and make them into regular keys??
I don't see anything in Armada that allows me to turn them off or even program them per system.

Program function to “None” for every button you want to disable.
Now, if you are trying to restore “System Keypad CTCSS/DCS” then you have to go to: System>System Name>General Options 2>Other> and check the box. If box is checked, then assigning functions to the numerical keypad buttons will not work correctly and DTMF from keypad “MAY” not work—I don’t remember.
With box unchecked, I can send DTMF tones by pressing PTT and then the keypad numbers as well as assign functions to the keypad numbers (I use this a lot).

Thanks for the reply!
The problem I am having is the F1 and F2 buttons are greyed out and say soft button.

As far as I am aware, F1 (single dot) and F2 (two dot) are always Soft Buttons, you have to assign them two tabs over on the Soft Button tab. You can either program only 2 soft buttons, or have the directional keys scroll through a bunch of soft buttons, I think I have 9 or so. Remember, the soft buttons also change based on the system type, so don't forget to set it for each system type.
