K3 and EasyPal

[ve3dvy]

I have a question for any EasyPal users out there

I am using my K3 to send digital images with EasyPal  with great success
but Id like to simplify my world

since many EasyPal  users talk about the images being sent between
pictures I
find that I have to manually change between DIGI-A and SSB manually before
and after sending. sure I could send with the rig in SSB but this would
not be
good as it would include any EQ and signal processing I have set up for
the mic.
Id like to change modes automatically when I transmit images

to do this could I use EasyPal CAT PTT    Is there anyone that has done
this
successfully using.  The CAT setup menu in EasyPal has "Initial string"
and "exit string".
are these sent at the start of each transmission? or at the initial
launch of
easypal?  I was thinking of using this to send a mode change command at
the start and end of each picture.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So I managed to figure it out

the problem is that EasyPal does not document this very well first off
you need to enter the Cat Commands in HEX rather then plain text.    
The initial and exit strings are sent on start and end of
transmission.        The downfall here is when I return to recieve    I
the MD command defines upper or lower sidband . so I need two different  
sets of commands for 40m and down and 20 and up      I wish there was a
way to set the K3 back to SSB to what ever sideband it was in before.
