[Elecraft] K3 Serial Commands?

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

You did not use a ";" at the end of the command when you posted the 
macro that you were trying - that may be your sole problem.
The other potential problem could be that the K2 is in a state where it 
will not accept commands.  Since I don't know what your application is 
doing when the macro is invoked, I cannot know for certain whether this 
is a problem or not.

You could try this sequence of commands:
RX;K20;FW44442; which should select FL2 for you.  If you leave the 
trailing '2' off, the next sequential filter should be selected.

73,
Don W3FPR
