1) Let's get it straight that the connector is RJ12, not RJ45. I've already
posted on using an adapter to extend the Elecraft-supplied cable from the radio
to the K-Pod.
2) I have Macro 13 (tap F5) set to activate MSG 1 (SWT 21) As I've written
before, many times, tapping this button resulted in "MSG1" displayed on the
radio but no message was transmitted.

Jeff makes an excellent point about long data cables. If you decide to try a
longer ribbon cable first and are not interested in making your own, buy an
RJ45 cable and F-F coupler to extend the Elecraft cable. Be sure to put the
Elecraft cable closest to the K3, since it does not have pin 1 connected,
and use the RJ45 cable for the rest of the run.
Let me repeat my earlier comment: Macros 1 through 8 are accessed by HOLDING
the KPOD switches for more than 1/2 second. Tapping (holding for less than
1/2 second) accesses K3 Macros 9 though 16. That might be what some of the
people experiencing "unreliable" switch behavior are doing and not getting
the reaction they expect from macros 1 through 8.
