Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Macros

[Paul Van Dyke]

As I sit and look at my station and my K-Pod, just remember Dayton is not
that far away, and Wayne, Eric and the rest of the crew have been very very
quiet. Remember they're very good at blowing people out of the water 
remember there was a radio that came out last year that caught everybody
flat-footed  .. esp the competition.

[Elecraft] K-Pod Macros

[Joe Stone (KF5WBO)]

According to the manual, through a future firmware upgrade, the K-Pod will be
able to function as a USB HID (Human Interface Device) such as a keyboard or
mouse.  Conceivably, the eight K-Pod tap and hold switches could be mapped
to 16 P3 / PX3 macros.  You could even implement three “banks” of 16 macros
for a total of 48 K-Pod macros.  Of course, this assumes:  1. you have a P3
equipped with the SVGA option or a PX3; 2. you’re not already using a
keyboard in conjunction with your P3 / PX3 (this would require USB hub
support); and 3. you haven’t already burned all 50 of your P3 / PX3 macros
(unlikely).

In a nutshell, I’m assuming if the K-Pod is to function as a USB HID
keyboard, the tap and hold switches would correspond to standard keyboard
keys (including combinations of Ctrl, Alt and Shift modifiers).  The keys
would be assigned to macros on the P3 / PX3.  This wouldn’t require any
change to the P3 / PX3.  The P3 / PX3 wouldn’t be able to differentiate the
K-Pod from a keyboard (which it already supports).

With a P3, the K-Pod knob could continue to control the K3s/K3 via the data
connector.  With the PX3, the K-Pod knob would present itself as a mouse. 
Of course, this would require the beforementioned Mouse-n-Click QSY support. 
Alternatively, if you wanted the K-Pod knob to control the P3, the
Mouse-n-Click QSY support could be leveraged there as well.

[Elecraft] K-POD macros 9-16 on Mac or Linux

[Mark Meland via Elecraft]

Short of running the windows version of the K3 utility in a VM, has anyone 
found a way to edit K-POD macro slots 9 through 16 on their MacOS or Linux 
system?
Thanks,
--mark

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod macros Around?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

See the Owner's Manual (rev C) that I provided the link to:
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740285%20KPOD%20Owner's%20Manual%20Rev%20C.p
df

>From Page 7, "Operating the K-Pod": 

"Macros are launched at the K-Pod using tap and hold presses of switches F1
through F8 just as you tap and hold front panel switches on your K3S/K3:

"Holding switches F1 through F8 for 1/2 second or more launches K3S/K3
macros 1 through 8. Tapping switches F1 through F8 (holding for less than
1/2 second) launches K3S/K3 macros 9 through 16."

Of course, you choose which locations where you want to store each macro in
the K3 in the Utility program just as in the past, and locations 1 through
16 are automatically assigned to the K-Pod switches (buttons) as described
above. 

The owner's manual is growing as more information is added.

Beautiful! That's the Rosetta Stone I
needed; From 9 on down to 16 in the
Command Tester in the Utility: 

9 = F1
10 = F2
11 = F3

And so on to

16 - F8

Maybe they will mention that in the next Rev of the owner's manual.

Thank you all, now I'll have to figure out the more complex macros and how I
might want to use them but that will come. And thanks to those who provided

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod macros Around?

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary and all,

The K-Pod buttons activate macros 1 thru 16.
For instance, a hold of the F1 button activates Macro 1 and a tap 
activates Macro 9.


So you create a Macro for those macro numbers.  It is a subtle point, 
but you do not assign the K-Pod buttons to any random macro, that is 
pre-assigned.  Place the desired macro into the proper numbered slot in 
the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod macros Around?

[Gary Smith]

I've been trying to find the info I am 
looking for but I must be dumber than a 
box of New England boulders.

With the immediate goal of tapping the 
K-Pod buttons to do the following: 

F3 = M3 (macro SWT35)
F4 = M4 (macro SWT39)
F7 = M1 (macro SWT21)
F8 = M2 (macro SWT31)

I haven't found out how to make the F 
buttons fire a specific macro. Some of the 
info below was very helpful, such as SWT21 
and that helped me figure out more.

But how do I ascribe a button on the K-Pod 
top a specific desired macro?

I believe what you want is in the Rev C K-Pod Owner's Manual on page 16. IF
you have an older version, you can download the Rev C manual here:

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740285%20KPOD%20Owner's%20Manual%20Rev%20C.p

For example, SWT21; will "tap" M1 on the K3, SWT32; will "tap" M2 and so on.

[Elecraft] K-POD Macros

[K6CTA via Elecraft]

After seeing that the LED programming functionality for the K-POD was 
available, I received the beta for the utility and the firmware for the POD. 
Very cool. I'm not sure what others are doing, but here is how I have my K-POD 
programmed:

F1 - tap turns on D1, puts radio in split, turns on sub rx and moves xmtr up 2. 
Hold clears all and turns D1 off

F2 - tap turns on D2 and does the same as above but up 5. Hold clears

F3 - tap is Mon on, hold is Mon off

F6 - tap turns on XIT and lights D3; hold turns XIT off and turns off D3

F7 - tap clears RIT

F8 - tap turns on RIT and lights D4; hold turns off RIT and D4.

It's all pretty convenient (for me, at least!)...
