I think you are almost there. The number modifiers have to
coordinate at the two ends of the transmission. If you use this
syntax to receive the data:

> SERIN 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse] hours]
> SERIN 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse] minutes]
> SERIN 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse] day]

then on the transmit end, you would use

SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]HEX $15]
SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]HEX $00]
SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]HEX $02]

to transmit the example numbers. The receive end then would program
the DX1302 for 3:00 pm on day 2.

On the transmit end, you will probably have variables for the hours,
minutes, and day? If they are already in hex (=BCD) format (as they
might be if you are having someone enter them at a keyboard), then
you would use

SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]hours]
SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]minutes]
SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]day]

but if they are not already in hex (BCD) format, then on the transmit side use

SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]HEX hours]
SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]HEX minutes]
SEROUT 3\12, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse]HEX day]

Play around with it, and one or the other of those options on the
transmit end should work.
