[Elecraft] K3 macro to tune memories from K-pod

[Wayne Burdick]

Wes,

This was fixed as of revision 5.60, and your video really helped. Among other things, the K-Pod was inserting macro characters into the host command stream asynchronously, occasionally clobbering a host command. I believe it’s working as intended now.

While it’s true that the K-Pod has its own serial bus, you’re right--it has to place nice with the others.

I had to record a video and send it to Wayne before he (and a bunch of other doubters) would believe that the K3 would acknowledge receipt of a macro command from the K-Pod but not actually execute it.  He rewrote the firmware to fix this.  Check the release notes so see whether you're up to date on this one.  IIRC it's a timing issue when there is other traffic on the USB/RS232 bus.  (Naysayers, please don't write to say that the K-Pod isn't on one of these buses)
