There is a lot than can be done with macros -almost anything that can be done with the K3 buttons. Define what functions need to be accomplished by a particular pod button press and the K3 will follow. If there is software intervention, that is not significant - the required operation must be properly defined to the guest operator - it should have nothing to do wit the K3 menu settings or the K3 button pushing - it should produce the expected results when activated - nothing more and nothing less.
Set it up before a contest and communicate "which buton does what" to the guest operators and all should be well. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/22/2011 10:23 PM, Bill W4ZV wrote: > This looks very promising for 12 macro keys and a VFO: > > http://xkeys.com/xkeys/xk12JSH.php > > Has anyone done this with the K3? > > 73, Bill > > > > David Gilbert wrote >> You may want to check the X-Keys website like W4TV suggested.
