Seems putting the mode change first in the string would change the mode in the 
current operating band; then change bands……..

Thank you. That’s likely another good answer. I got a couple direct emails and 
the one I tried first was to put the mode in the macro string first. That seems 
to work with many tries, no mishaps. So that’s where I left it.
Thanks for the reply,

A possible solution:

1) FA705;DE100;MD3;

Check DExxx command in programmers manual.

Re: [Elecraft] K-POD Issues, But I Love It!

Another small issue I have had is when I am on say 3710 KHz LSB
and send the macro FA705;MD3;
the K3s goes to 7049.280 KHz CW sometimes. (720 Hz is my offset for CW)
If I send FA705;MD3; again right away
it goes to 7050 KHz CW

Then when I send FA371;MD1;
the K3s goes to 3710.720 KHz LSB sometimes
Again, if I send FA371;MD1; again right away
the K3s goes to 3710 KHz LSB.

This has always been the case and has nothing to do with the wrong macro being 
sent...
am I not allowing for something in my macros?

Subject: K-POD Issues, But I Love It!

I love this K-Pod, BUT I’ve sort of worn out 3 of them. The symptom is that the 
most used buttons get noisy and trigger another macro from another address. 
When I had the first one do that, I did extensive testing to eliminate rf 
noise, etc.
And a new unit however proved to work perfectly...for about 4 months. When it 
started doing the same thing Elecraft said it was highly unlikely and 
especially twice to the same guy, but they sent me another one anyway. Great 
company!
Now that one after a year is doing it again. I rearranged the macros to 
different buttons of the two macros I mostly use, and it works flawlessly again 
for those two. I doubt that Elecraft will keep sending me these things, maybe 
I’m missing something. But all I can come up with is noisy switches, double 
triggering. Anybody have similar issues?
