[Elecraft] Now that the K-Pod is shipping, we could use your help with useful macros

[Mike Flowers]

It appears to me that they are the same 16 macros, which are invoked via the
buttons on the K-POD.

As I have many macros that I now invoke via software, I was hopeful that
there might be a method by which I could have different 'macro sets', e.g.
for SSB, RTTY, CW operation, contests, etc.

I thought that perhaps saving a K3 configuration would also save the macro
definitions, but this does not appear to be the case.

I think that if the K3 Utility had the functions to allow saving and loading
different user-defined 'macro sets', the utility of the K-POD would be
enhanced.

Just my $.02 worth ...
