I have not found a way to pre-load macros either, but alas, it is the
same, with or without the Genovation. The Genovation just forces you to
load a lot of macros at once, so it feels like it is related. I think,
no matter how you use the P3, with or without the Genovation, you always
need to preload macros by hand.
Like yourself, (here comes a request for a new feature Elecraft folks),
I would LOVE a way to pretest macros using the P3 utility, then select
which memory that macro should live in, then blast the tested macro into
the selected memory on the P3.

Still the biggest problem in using the Genovation or P3 macros in
general is the clunky keyboard interface that requires hand typing in
all the macros directly into the P3. I may have missed something but
have not seen any method where you can create macros, test them, then
transfer to the P3. Also have not seen anything that allows me to save
the macros so I can restore when needed.
Above issues may be due to my on neglect of keeping up, so if someone
has a way to solve would love to hear it.

As long as the keyboard appears to be a dumb keyboard it should
work... I have a Genovation 64 Key programmable keypad working that
fires macros into the SVGA, at the push of a single button. See:
https://www.nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/
I fire all sorts of prebuilt macros into the P3, from reconfiguring
the rig for various modes, to setting up complex split operations for
DX, to sending my call in CW.
I program the Genovation once, (and never touch it again programming
wise), then just add my macros to the P3 after that. Once a macro is
added, that macro is available at a single button press from then on.
Works great in a pileup. I press the "Split Plus" button on the
Genovation and the P3 moves the tuned DX signal to the hard left side
of the P3 display, sets the span of the P3 to 5 KHz., (showing me the
5 KHz. above the DX signal), turns on VFO B for control of my my
transmit on the K3, narrows the K3 filter to 100 Hz., (centered on the
DX signal), centers the IF passband on my DX signal, and then shows
the transmit cursor on the P3.
This lets me find a hole in the pileup, use the VFO B knob on the K3
to move my transmit to that hole in the pileup, and when I hit the ID
button it fires off my ID as fast, and as often as I press the button
for ID. The entire operation takes about 2 seconds to set up, and
start calling...
73s and thanks,

I have a P3 and will be ordering the P3_SVGA. I assume this will NOT
support a wireless USB keyboard, but just thought I would confirm before
buying one... On the topic, any favorite keyboards I should consider
- or
avoid? Thanks for your input!
