I've been thinking of pulling the trigger on a K-Pod, but in retrospect
what I really need most is a way to move the marker and simulate a knob
press remotelyon the P3. The ability to control the radio this way
without having to move my hands away from the keyboard would be a
wonderful tool for Search and Pounce contesting. Given the way the K-Pod
connects directly into the innards of the K3, it appears that
implementing a way to pass commands to the P3 from the K3 might require
some major radio firmware changes.
I have a PigKnob here that I now use to tune the radio. It connects
directly to the RS232 port going into the P3. It occurred to me that it
might be possible to use the PigKnob to control the P3. I downloaded and
had a look at the P3 command reference and was disappointed to discover
there's no command to move the markers. I would sure like to see an
enhancement to the P3 firmware that would add a "Marker Up / Marker
Down" tuning command. Maybe I'm missing something, though. Does anyone
know of a way to make the P3 marker(s) move under software control?
