[Elecraft] K-Pod function buttons not apparently working

[Peter Lock]

Yes, I believe I was pressing the buttons correctly.  Very curiously, the
"Spot" macro (swt42;) is now functioning correctly; I am convinced I have
changed nothing to make that happen.  Commands for the P3 (#QSY1; etc)
however are still not working...
