help with writing a macro for the KPA 1500

[Howard Sherer]

I am trying to write macros for the PF 1 & 2 keys for the KPA 1500.

My objective is:
Have the PF1 button switch the Input to the K3s with the command ^PF1^XI0;
Have the PF2 button change the input type to serial (for Flex) with the
command ^PF2^XI3;

Neither one is working, where am I going wrong?

I assume that after I have these working with the command tested in the
1500 util, that saving them will send them to program the buttons on the
1500? Is this correct?

Use the KPA1500 Utility program. In the PF box for PF1 just put ^XI0;
In the PF2 box put ^XI3;

No need to put PF1 and PF2 in front.

To elaborate, the ^PF0 and ^PF1 are not valid commands. If you want to
string multiple commands on a button, each command must be followed by a
semicolon with no spaces.

Howard:

The KPA1500 PF1 and PF2 buttons are programmed from the KPA1500 Utility.
Choose the Configuration tab, and the PF Keys tab.

Enter the macros for PF1 and PF2, then "APPLY" or "OK".

The macros might be something this for PF1:      ^DTRADIO TYPE K3;^XI0;

And this for PF2:    ^DTFLEX SERIAL;^XI3;

The ^DT text shows on the LCD screen when you hold the PF button to remind
you what it was intended to do.

Howard,

Did you get your KPA1500 PF macros to work?  I use these all the time,
doing exactly the same thing you want.

In the KPA1500 Utility, on the PF Keys tab, fill them in as:

PF1:    ^XI00;
PF2: ^XI30;

PF1 for K3 / K3S and PF2 for Flex.  I have Serial Speed XCVR set to
38400 bps and have the USB Cables setup configured for the same speed.

Warren, KD4Z
