[Elecraft] KPod self modifying macros?

[Jim Miller]

These "self modifying macros" really just assign another macro to a switch
via the MACRO menu command. I don't see any way of identifying the KPOD
switch names to make that possible.

Perhaps the new switch identifiers come along with the new firmware (now in
field test) documentation?

thanks
