[Elecraft] K3 Button Box - GENOVATION

[Kenneth Talbott]

Genovation  products are great solution looking for the right problem!  BEWARE that the 684 user manual says that it will NOT allow an ASCII null character (0x00) in a macro.  Their other products do not have this limitation.

Other than an excuse to build something there might be another way. I haven't used one on my K3 but I do use one on my KX3. 
I have a Genovation model 684 serial programmable keypad that has 24 keys. One of those is used as a shift key so I have access to 46 macros at the touch of a button. Each macro space will hold approx. 180 characters so there is plenty of room for elaborate macros. Programming is a snap with the graphical interface supplied as is a cable. Cost was about $90.00 as I recall. There is a model with 35 keys. 
 Might be the answer to your needs.
