Oh, dear me. Maybe I should have said, "in the radio equipment as opposed to in the keypad." The Genovation "solution" isn't a solution. The commands don't live in the keyboard which was my expressed desire. But of course you knew that. On 9/29/2016 10:15 AM, Dave Cole wrote: On Thu,

The PigKnob stores the commands in the device and sends them to the K3 via the serial port. It plugs into the K3 and the P3 plugs into it. It is a nice device - I have one sitting on the shelf, as I now have the Genovation and a K-Pod. Not interested in selling it - I may yet use it again.
