RC5 in Remote Master
How do I enter 3 pairs of hex numbers for each key in EFC in the RC5 protocol?
You don't.
If you give us a URL or a very good quote from whatever source made you think you want to do that, we probably can clear up the confusion.
I have a guess what you mean:
It doesn't fit the "pair" phrase of your question very well. But the "3" may be coming from the fact that a decoded RC5 signal has three different EFC numbers.
If that's the issue, don't type in ANY hex nor any EFC number. Instead type in the OBC number. RM will use that to compute the correct hex and correct EFC number, which will match one of the three possible values that the decoder listed.

I used decode ccf to read my learned pronto codes. All the EFC nos show as 3 pairs of digits. I thought they were hex but they are not. Here
is a subset of the data.

So i was trying to enter 044_036_060 in the EFC in RM.
I must be really confused!

The EFC number from a decode is only needed if you're trying to base a keymove on a built-in setup code. Then (as described in the "mini combo" section of the DecodeIR documentation, linked from the RC5 section) you need to figure out which of the three choices is right. That may require guess and check.
But if you're using RemoteMaster, forget about EFC numbers and use the OBC number.
The EFC number is a weirdly transformed and encripted version of the OBC number. The OBC number is really in the signal. OneForAll invented EFC numbers, and uses them instead of OBC numbers for creating keymoves on the remote itself because they hoped to keep potential competitors from using OFA's work as a source of information on OBC numbers.
RemoteMaster lets you type in either EFC number or OBC number and it computes the other.
