Should have been a bit more thorough here 'cos I've just found a post from Rich VE3KI from earlier in the year which goes a way to explaining. Seems you can store in both Hold and Tap but if there's only one macro in an M key (tap or hold) then it's run by just tapping.
This is neat as I've now got my macro to switch between the sub rx audio mix A-Ab <-> Ab-Ab on one M key; it's now a quasi toggle action to swap by either Holding or Tapping....and leaves the others for the 3 voice messages I'll need for this weekend's play in cqww.
Still wondering about the Bank 1/2 thing though....

Been using macros for a long time but only just noticed the following......
When allocating a stored macro to one of the M* keys it appears to give me the choice of Tap or Hold (eg 'M4H Set'). This would allow 8 to be stored in M1-M4. However when stored in either Tap or Hold the macro is run whether the key is tapped or held, no difference.
The stored macro also ignores Bank 1/2 selection ie written to both. Is this the way it's supposed to happen?
