[Elecraft] K3/P3 and Pigknob

[Nick Garner]

Hi Bill,
I know of a few folks using the knob with both the P3 and K3.  The only
issue I'm aware of is if you want to program a P3 macro into one of the
programmable knob push buttons you have to prefix the command with a
semi-colon.  For example, if you wanted to send the P3 command to set the
span to 50 kHZ, "#SPN000500;" you'd have to program the PK button to
";#SPN000500;",
note the leading semi-colon.  I wasn't able to work out why this is but it
works.  This is only a problem for commands going to the P3, button macros
going through the P3 to the K3 don't need this semi-colon prefix.

I'll drop your knob in the mail tomorrow.  Also, I do full-refund returns;
if you feel it's not for you just let me know.

73,
Nick
