k-pod PTT emulation

[Barry, Stephen]

Have any of you clever Elecrafters figured out a macro to emulate a true
PTT function (push ptt on, release, off) for the k-pod function
switches?

Any ideas?

Steve, AE2G

Currently, macros are associated with the trailing edge of a programmable switch.  What you're proposing is an option through which a macro (SWT16;) could be associated with the leading edge (and the trailing edge) of a switch.

I like the idea.  Can't hurt to ask Elecraft.

Thanks Ron, I was pretty sure that was the case but then, there are some
pretty clever fellas out there.  I've programmed SWT16 on f12 and it's
just fine.  The vox  in  the k3 is so good that I usually operate with
that.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, Ron.

Actually ... a macro is sent:  when a programmable switch is released after being held for less than 500 ms; or when a programmable switch is held for more than (>=) 500 ms.

Note:  It doesn't matter if the switch is held for 500 ms, 5 secs or 5 mins.  The associated "hold macro" is sent after 500 ms.

Steve is looking for the ability to send a macro when a switch is first pressed and at the time a switch is released (after 500 ms) ... neither of which are currently supported.
