[Elecraft] Have to push PF1 or P2 Twice to get Macro to fully work.

[Randy Diddel]

Good afternoon,

I finally had some time to sit down with the Fred Cady Manual and the
Elecraft Programmer's guide.

I operate mainly PSK/JT65 and phone and having the ability to quickly
change over to phone if there is rare DX (for instance) would be nice to
have.  So I broke out the programmers guide and worked up the following:

PF1 switches the radio to Data-A, Filter 4k, Mic gain to 20, power change
15W, etc.

The PF1 string is as follows:  MG020;BW04000;AG005;MD6;DT0;PC015

PF2 switches to SSB:  MG020;BW02100;MD2;PC100

(Yes, I do own a KXPA100)

I have sucessfully assigned the macros to each PF.  The problem is that I
push and hold either PF on the KX3 and it seems to execute part of the
macro but not all.  To get it to fully complete, I have to press the same
PF key again and then all settings are correct.  So my question is, is this
a bug, feature, or user error?

Thanks and 73

BTW, I am still looking for a buyer for my K3 bundle-see post earlier this
week.
