[Elecraft] K3 : toggle between two powers ?

[Benny Aumala]

Thank you, Dick

Programming was not what I intended to learn.
Now the quickest way goes like this:

=Open Elecraft K3 Utility
=open Edit / Command tester Macros
=Type for Macro 1 - Text to send - pc005; (do not forget semicolon)
=Type for Macro 2 - Text to send - pc100;
=Save

Now it is easy to toggle by clicking Macro 1 or 2 between 5 and 100W.

= Hide Utility to PC low-edge command-line.
This way it is ready for rapid action, and screen is normally free.
