[Elecraft] K-POD Function key #'s mapping/Macro Assignments not matching K3 util assignments

[Brian Pietrzyk (ve3bwp)]

I read through the archive and found no mention of this issue:

I just got a k-Pod and a K3s and am wanting to program Function keys but the tap assignments don’t seem to work. The hold ones seem to. 

I am referring to table 11-3 / p 235 in the Fred Kady K3s pdf ebook.

The table says tap F1-F8 should map to K3 Macros 9-16, Hold F1-F8 should map to K3 Macros 1-8.

I assigned F1 Tap to VFO FINE and Hold F1 to VFO Course. By putting SWT49; and SWH49; commands in Macro 1 & 9 lines respectively and this works as expected.

For F2 TAP I just want to toggle NR on/off. So I put SWT34; into Macro 10. When I tap F2 nothing happens and VFO B displays MACRO 1. So I put SWT34; into MACRO 2 and Hold F2 works as expected. NR toggles on/off and VFO B displays MACRO 2 as expected when I hold F2. Not sure why Tap F2 acting this way?

I have the same issue with F3 & F4. I assigned BAND ^ and BAND v to tap and nothing happens and VFO B display MACRO 1. Hold F3&4 Works fine. 

So essentially I can only get Tap F1 to work. I have to Hold the get the rest of the function keys to work. I tried reloading the firmware into the Kpod and no change. Did I get a defective KPOD?

Thanks,
