Hello Peter, Executing P3 macro commands from the K-POD has not been implemented in the K3/K3S/K-POD firmware.
I was informed by Elecraft support that this was the case when I was trying to resolve the same issue soon after the P3 was introduced. You might contact Elecraft Support to confirm that this is still the case. I found a workaround by using K3 & P3 macros in DXLab's Commander rig control program. - 73 and good DX de Mike, K6MKF, NCDXC Secretary > -----Original Message----- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> > On Behalf Of Peter Lock > Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2019 05:38 > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod function buttons not apparently working > > Yes, I believe I was pressing the buttons correctly.
