K3 macro wish list

[Bill-3]

I wish there was a macro that would control the KPA500 for OPER/STBY.
Then I could put that macro on my Genovation keypad. Sometimes I tap the
button on the KPA500 with a back scratcher - a keypad button would be
much more elegant.

If you directly connect the controller to the KPA500’s PC serial port, then you can control it in many ways.
The only information passed from the K3 to the KPA500 is the band information, using the BAND output signals form the K3. There are no other communications. Thus the K3 cannot tell the KPA500 to change operating modes, or anything else besides band. The opposite direction _is_ supported on a limited basis, which is how band requests are sent to the K3 from the KPA.
