P3 with KPod

[Chuck Teague]

I'm just getting started using macros, and would like to control the P3 via the KPod as much as possible. Can the Markers be controlled via the KPod knob.  I can turn the markers on and off and qsy to one or the other, but can find no way to assign the P3 knob to the KPod knob.  Am I missing something?

This is a capability that's not currently available. There are a few of
us out here who would also like to see it happen, but given that the
K-Pod communicates directly with the radio CPU it might take a good bit
of software to make the radio talk back to the P3. I'm personally more
hopeful that the P3 code can be modified to make it controllable via a
PigKnob, which operates in the RS232 channel. Let's hope we see some
development effort in the future.

The PigKnob is already capable of controlling the PX3 markers.  You simply need to ask Elecraft to port the #MAA and #MBA remote-control commands to the P3.

You betcha! I've already asked and I'm hoping it happens sooner rather
than later.

I would much rather have the K-Pod control the P3 and use remaining
buttons to handle specific functions on the K3s.

That is how it would be most useful to me.

If I had a PigKnob as well, I'd have the Begali, the mouse, the K-Pod
and the pigknob all on the right side of my keyboard. How over
crowded is that?
