Hi Bill, I know of a few folks using the knob with both the P3 and K3. The only issue I'm aware of is if you want to program a P3 macro into one of the programmable knob push buttons you have to prefix the command with a semi-colon. For example, if you wanted to send the P3 command to set the span to 50 kHZ, "#SPN000500;" you'd have to program the PK button to ";#SPN000500;", note the leading semi-colon. I wasn't able to work out why this is but it works. This is only a problem for commands going to the P3, button macros going through the P3 to the K3 don't need this semi-colon prefix.
I'll drop your knob in the mail tomorrow. Also, I do full-refund returns; if you feel it's not for you just let me know. 73, Nick N3WG On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 6:13 PM, Bill Myers <[email protected]> wrote: > Great input, Fred.
