P3 function buttons

[W6ODJ]

Alan and Wayne,

I see you're busy fixing a bug at the moment, but ...

I wonder how high on the priority list is the ability to use the function buttons on the P3 to send macros to the K3?  

Right now I have MEM 0-9 set to BAND SEL.  I used V>M to set it up so that I press M>V and then
1 for 10 meters
2 for 20 meters
3 for 30 meters
4 for 40 meters
5 for 15 meters
6 for 6 meters
7 for 17 meters
8 for 80 meters
9 for 12 meters
0 for 160 meters
Then I have M1 to M4 set for CW, SSB, Data, WWV (when applicable), respectively.  

This is a pretty common trick, I think.  It works fine, but I'd sure like to have the first P3 function button be 40 CW tap and 40 SSB hold, etc., etc.  Also, the P3 screen labels would have to be user definable for the buttons to be useful.

Any idea when that might be implemented?

73,

Oliver

I hate to predict when any specific feature will be implemented, but I
can say that this one is high on the list.  It requires changes both to
P3 firmware and to P3 Utility.  It shouldn't affect K3 firmware.
