[Elecraft] K3 Ham Radio Deluxe - Tuner Macro

[Robert Benedict]

Right Vic

As stated in my original message I am referring to the action you get 
when you hit "tune" not "ATU tune". I do not have the internal tuner. I 
have an amp I occasionally use, so my autotuner is external.

When I hit "ATU tune" the K3 politely informs me that I do not have an 
ATU installed and does nothing.

Again, the K3 behavior is different than the K2 and every other 
transceiver I have seen. I hope that this will one day be changed, but I 
think Elecraft has bigger fish to fry today. So - meanwhile Simon's 
excellent software provides an easy way to shape actions to suit my needs.
