K-POD Function key #'s mapping/Macro Assignments not matching K3 util assignments

ve3bwp
It turns out the Mac version of the Elecraft k3 utility has a defect. It does not write Macros 10-16 to the K3. The windows (eww!) k3 util writes the macros fine so K-Pod working now as documented.

Now if I could just get diversity receive to work as documented..

Thanks to Doug at Elecraft support for working through this with me through a power outage at their site!

Thanks,

Brian ve3bwp

My Mac OS version of the K3 utility writes all 16 macros and has for several different MAC OS versions.  Currently on Mojave and zero problems with any of the Elecraft utilities.

Re: K-POD Function key #'s mapping/Macro Assignments not matching K3 util assignments

I'm on Mojave 10.14.3 running K3 Util 1.16.6.25. I tried my shack MB air and my MB pro. Same issue.  Weird. Using Windows util as a work around.

Still a few things not matching up with the Fred Cady or stock documentation so could still be something with the rig. Not getting diversity receive to work as documented. The adventure continues...
