K3s VFO A and VFO B Retain Power Levels

KM4VX
I know that we can retain the operating mode in VFO A and VFO B and the radio returns to the last operating mode in each VFO. Great. Is there a way also to retain the power levels for VFOs? It would be convenient when moving from SSB in VFO A at QRO levels to go to VFO B for instance at 40 watts for PSK. Now one manually changes the power levels when changing VFOs. Now, each VFO uses the last power level set for either VFO, requiring an adjustment for QRP, digital and SSB. Just a thought for a helpful future upgrade if possible. Ron KM4VX

Ron,

I use macros to  change mode (USB, CW, PSK, RTTY, etc) and set bandwidths
and power levels.
Wish I could also turn VOX on and off, but supposedly that command is
coming.

It's only a "press 'n hold".

Jim - N4ST
Yeah, but I wish there was a definitive on or off as opposed to toggle by
macro.
Or, if we had the "If Then" construct in the macro language to see what the
current VOX status was and then decide to toggle it or not.
