Hi all.
Being primarily a Linux hand I'm glad to see Elecraft giving us support.
On a tip from another K3 owner I decided to try my hand at setting a
couple of macros on my K3. I used the Linux K3 Utility 1.3.9.2 and all
seemed to be in order except that the macros did not work although the
labels showed correctly. Reading the macros back from the K3 revealed
that all but the last two characters of each command had been truncated
(in this case PC005; was truncated to 5; and PC100; was truncated to
0;). Issuing the commands manually from the command entry box provided
the results expected as did clicking the modified macro buttons in the
Utility.
So, I fired up the spare Win2k machine and used utility 1.3.10.15 to
read the K3 and it showed the truncated strings as expected. Editing
the commands and sending them to the K3 and reprogramming the buttons
resulted in expected behavior from the buttons.
As I presume this is a bug in the Linux utility, is an update planned in
the near future? Is there a need for another Linux field tester? :-D
