Radio control transmitter with variable function switches

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing disadvantages of the prior art.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a radio control transmitter which is capable of permitting the function of a function key to be readily set as desired.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a radio control transmitter which comprises a plurality of operation means such as switches provided at predetermined positions of the radio control transmitter; a storing means for storing each of data on a plurality of operation functions in correspondence to the operation means, a selecting means for selecting a desired operation means from the operation means and a desired operation function from the operation functions, a first data holding means for holding a data on the operation function selected by the selecting means, a second data holding means for holding a data on another operation function which the operation means selected by the selecting means currently has in the storing means, and a data transfer means for transferring a data held in the first data holding means to the storing means corresponding to the selected operation means and transferring a data held in the second data holding means to the storing means corresponding to another one of the operation means to which a data on the selected operation function has been supplied.
In the radio control transmitter of the present invention constructed as described above, a desired operation function and an operation means in which the operation function is desired to be set are selected through the selecting means.
A data on the selected operation function is held in the first data holding means.
A data on the operation function which the selected operation means already has had is held in the second data holding means.
The data transfer means serves to transfer the data held in the first data holding means to the storing means corresponding to the selected operation means and transfer the data in the second data holding means to the storing means corresponding to another one of the operation means which has had the selected operation function
