Hi Paul, Firstly-- thank you for putting this on your radar!   I will rephrase-- the P3 fails to control the K3 when using some macros in sequence, due to the P3 failing to implement flow control, and the P3 overrunning the K3. End result is the same however-- the P3/K3 cluster fails to execute

Yes, the issue is that after the P3 sends the UP7, DN7 command, etc. to the K3 it doesn't receive the new frequency back from the K3 right away. So when the #FXT1 command (go to fixed-tune mode) is executed it is based on the old K3 frequency, not the new one. Adding a delay in the

Hi Dave, The P3 does execute the commands one after another. The problem is likely that the K3 commands take a little longer to execute and there is no waiting in the P3 for the K3 to change frequency. In other words, the P3 executes the serial commands in sequence. It gets to a K3 command

The bug that the p3 and svga freeze for a second or three apparently randomly still exists in the production firmware. It's particularly noticeable when operating QSK CW in a pileup. Does this version address that? Vic 4X6GP/K2VCO > On 26 Feb 2016, at 12:42 AM, Paul Saffren N6HZ
