[Elecraft] SPLIT Macro revisited

The good folks at Elecraft provided me with a solution to my earlier posted
problem.

 

Using the original macro for split: SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB4;RT0;XT0;SB1;BW$0080

 

Works fine if you only intend to use it on cw.  But if you go to ssb, it has
two problems:

a)       it doesn't switch modes and 

b)       it sets the vfo B bandwith to 800 hz which isn't so good for ssb

 

Here's the fix .

 

a)       change the macro to add the word delay (no quotes) in between the
two SWT13 statements

b)       remove the BW$0080 statement

 

the new macro looks like this:

 

SWT13;delay;SWT13;FT1;UPB4;RT0;XT0;SB1

 

The mode now switches properly.  You will have to manually set the bandwidth
you want for vfo b in ssb and cw, but the good thing is the K3 remembers it.
