Hi Fred (I have one of your books BTW)
Save your money. When I said. "As I've written before", what I had said earlier
was:
"I saw a similar problem. Only tapping a button appeared to send the command to
the K3 but the K3 failed to respond. For example, I had my K-Pod set up to use
a tap of F5 to invoke M1, where my call was stored. Tapping F5 would result in
"MSG 1" showing up in the VFO B space on the display but M1 was not activated.
(Tony G6GLP) has also reported this problem. Tapping M1 on the K3 works every
time."
Read the last sentence. Additionally, there are other messages in Bank 2 so
something should have been sent.
But this thread and others---IMHO of course---exposes a missed opportunity.
Instead of this Mickey Mouse way of writing a limited number of macros, that
have to be sent to the K3 and stored, only to be executed by a K-Pod over a
dubious interface, the macros should simply be saved in the K-Pod in the first
place and sent via USB and/or RS232.

Remember there are two banks of memories. I'll bet the Macro label is MSG1
(which is displayed when the macro is executing) but you are in one of the
banks that doesn't have the message programmed into it. To switch banks, hold
the REC key. Unfortunately that is a toggle so you can't hold it in a macro
and have to be in Bank 1 or Bank 2 deterministically.
Cheers,
