P3 macros on the KPod?

[Elecraft mailing list]

Hi,

I want to program the following Split+1 macro in myKPod and having trouble with thefollowing:

SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB4;DV0;SB1;RT0;XT0;LK1;BW0010;BW$0270;#SPN000080;#RCF+004000;

Although it works fine in the K3 Utility Tester, itdoes not work in the KPod. The problem seems to be the two P3 macros which donot work. I suspect the KPod does not work with P3 macros. Is that the case?

Unfortunately, you cannot have P3 commands stored in a K3 macro.  You can have K3 commands stored in a P3 macro, though.  So to do what you would like, you need to store the macro one of the 50 P3 macro locations and then assign it to one of the P3 function keys.

The reason it works from the Utility is that the serial communication path to the K3 is through the P3 and so the P3 acts on its commands.


(And just to be a bit pedantic, I think it is better to not call K3 macros Kpod macros.  The Kpod doesn't store any macros.  It just provides an additional 16 function keys that activate the 16 macro storage locations in the K3.)




Cheers,
