I originally missed band stacking registers that I was used to before I got my K3 in 2009, but I use work-arounds. Two options: 1) Use the MEM 0-9 set to BAND SEL. Then use the K3 Frequency Memory Editor program to load memories for memories 0-9 and each band. For instance, I have the numeric

This is one of the few things that annoys me about my K3S. I work a lot of digital modes and switching back and forth between CW, SSB and Data is a pain because of this. On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 4:45 PM, Ian White wrote: > This is a nice macro, but it's mostly a patch for a

I hadn't thought of that use for the macro. I was thinking of when I'm tuning the band, probably in CW or SSB mode, and come across a signal that looks like it is RTTY. This macro makes it easy to set up to decode the RTTY. The complementary PSK macro does the same for PSK and the other

This is a nice macro, but it's mostly a patch for a long-standing firmware bug - namely that, on returning to a data sub-mode on any particular band, the IF center frequency and bandwidth have often been changed to something quite inappropriate. This is because the K3 firmware failed to include

There was a bug in my RTTY macro. The latest version is: RTTY: MD6;DT1;IS 2210;BW0040 Goes to Data mode and then AFSK A. Sets the filter center to normal (2.21 KHz) and the bandwidth to 400 HZ. Old version was: RTTY: MD6;DT1;IS 9000;BW0040 73 Bill AE6JV

It appears to me that they are the same 16 macros, which are invoked via the buttons on the K-POD. As I have many macros that I now invoke via software, I was hopeful that there might be a method by which I could have different 'macro sets', e.g. for SSB, RTTY, CW operation, contests, etc. I

They're independent Matt. The K-Pod knob works with a rocker switch directly below the knob to operate VFO A, VFO B or the RIT/XIT offset just as if you were at the K3 front panel. However, to change the RIT/XIT offset at the K-Pod those modes do need to be initiated either by macros launched

Yes it does. It comes with two 6.8 ohm resistors. One 1/8 watt leaded resistor and one 1/10 watt smd resistor. I did the mod with the smd resistor. It's a small resistor about the size of a large fruit fly and it goes kind of in a tight place, especially for a left hander. I got it in and it
