[Elecraft] K-pod SSB macro

[Don Wilhelm]

pjd,

No command that I know of, but let me offer a compromise being a 
combination of the M1-M4 per band memories and the Macros that are fired 
from the K-Pod.

The closest thing I can think of is to set up the M1-M4 memories for 
each band.  I use M1 for CW mode, M2 for data mode, and M3 for SSB mode 
- M4 is unused in my case.

That will get you to a particular frequency in each band (but it will 
not be the last used), but will set the mode as you have requested.

Once those are set up. you can use the K-pod buttons to send macros 
which will "push those buttons".  Yes, your macros will have to push the 
M>V button and then the proper M1-M4 button.  If your interest is in SSB 
only, you will only use one of the K-Pod buttons.  Each additional mode 
will require another K-Pod button.

I do not use the K-Pod, but I do use the M1-M3 buttons as I have described.

My M1 thru M3 buttons send the frequency to somewhere mid-band in each 
of the mode segments.  It is easy to QSY from that point.
