I think what he means about rotating macros is where one macro executes and then assigns another macro to the same function key. I've been calling those "sequencing" macros.
Say Macro 8 sets AGC THR to 5 and Macro 7 sets AGC THR to 15 and holding PF2 is assigned to Macro 8 and you would like to use successive holds of PF2 to toggle between THR 5 and 15. Code is added to the end of each macro to reassign PF2 to activate the other macro. (I don't remember who came up with this but it a nice idea although a bit like the old self modifying code days.) You can't do this directly with a KPod button because their macro assignments cannot be reassigned like programmable function keys. But you can do it indirectly by making another macro, say Macro 16, hold the PF2 key. Now tapping KPod button 8 holds PF2 which toggles THR. Note that (at present) the first two macros have to be in 1-8 because function keys can only be assigned to those locations. So instead of two macros and a function key you use three macros, a function key, and a KPod button.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'Rotating Macros.' As far as not using Macros 1-8, just don't assign any macro commands to them. No action is taken by the K3 when pressing an F-key with no assigned macro command. 73, Mitch NWØm -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Rotating-Macros-and-the-K-Pod-tp7625319p7625353.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
