MD9600 manual backlight toggle

On a MD9600 with the backlight set to manual is there currently a button sequence to toggle the backlight?

I know that all features of GD77 are not currently in MD9600 including some button functionality and I was just curious if this is one of them.

Great job devs as always on the firmware! I'm still in awe every day at what you all have been able to accomplish.

You are correct, at the moment there is no key assigned to the manual backlight. So it can't be used.

Probably we should assign P2 on the front panel, because I think SK1 on the GD77 toggles manual backlight

However I don't think we can easily use any keys on the mic without affecting the functionality.

In the next version P2 will be used to toggle the manual backlight operation.

It will not be possible to toggle the backlight using the mic, becuase all buttons on the mic are already used
