Can you send us the macro's you are having trouble with?
Maybe we can help you with them.

I couldn't get the macros to work consistently, no matter what I tried, including the 'soft' reset'. So, I reloaded my firmware (4.60) and this apparently corrected the failure. I had been toying with several different macros and wonder if my playing around somehow fouled things up. I only have 2 macros: PF1 HOLD to put the rig into CW and PF2 HOLD to put the rig into FSK. These are simple macros (thanks K1HTV) and have been working without a hitch, until I attempted to get fancy.
