Hi, It's not that difficult, most of the work is just programming the P3 macros into the P3 as Elecraft instructs you to do. Which was harder to do than prepping the Genovation, as I used an external keyboard on the P3.
Once the Keypad is updated, I just enter the triggers one time, hit the download button on the keypad software, and I am done forever programming the keypad. The keypad triggers the P3 to fire its macros, so you just program the triggers in once, and on the P3 make sure they match. If you want to change macros, just change the P3 keeping the same trigger. The triggers are arbitrarily selected. I used 1-z, 1-0, and F1-F12, one for each key. Then I just program the P3 to fire a macro on the appropriate trigger. The trick is in getting the triggers to match, and that is taken care of by the chart you can download. The write up makes it look a lot worse than it is because of the detail level. The entire process took about 3 minutes to prep the Genovation, and the rest of the time was spent making macros on the P3. Once the Genovation is programmed I never program it again... All it does is trigger macros from the P3. I must say, that after using the external keypad for a few hours on a pileup it is nice... I almost never touch the K3 anymore. -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info For MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Fri, 2016-01-22 at 06:46 -0500, Bill wrote: > Sounds like a cottage industry in the making.
