[Elecraft] K-Pod F keys Tap and Hold?

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

That is not reversable - at least not currently.  Will it ever be?, who 
knows.
With the K-Pod, I believe a hold is easier to do because of the downward 
movement rather than a button on a vertical panel, and I believe that is 
the reason for the choice.

Just move the macro into the proper slot for what you want.  It is easy 
with the K3 Utility Macro Editor - you should be able to copy (or cut) 
from one and paste it into another.
