[Elecraft] K-Pod and Marcos

[Bob]

Hi,

        As I sit awaiting the K-Pod I'm looking for possible uses of it beyond 
the remote tuning knob. .  Suddenly 16 possible selections will be available 
with the TAP or HOLD functions of the PB switches .    So far I have seven  
potential uses  with 2 still at the K3 using the PF buttons.  A lot of potential 
will be sitting unused.

         Looking back Fred, KE7X proposed a macro repository and it still exists 
here:

http://www.ke7x.com/home/k3-macro-repository

It is certainly underutilized.   Another source is Dave's, NK7Z. keyboard project:

A Google search reveals more macro's.   But not any central location. The value  
of a central location is not entirely in preventing reinventing the wheel. There 
are many clever individuals on this list and the real value of a repository is 
in the "Aha" moment of "Why didn't I think of that.".

I'd love to see a central location.  It may be Elecraft could host it.  Possibly 
with 2 areas. Elecraft checked for all models and unchecked user submitted 
macro's.   Elecraft hosting surely would be a value added to their product 
line.  A concept from the new KX2 may be adaptable to a K3/K3S. But sharing is 
required.

73,

Bob
