[Elecraft] [K3] NEW: K3 Front Panel Switch Customization

[W6NEK]

Speaking of Sub "ON",
When I try to work a DXpedition or station working split (like UP 2Khz) I 
like to listen to the DX Station on Main Receiver VFO A and the pileup 
freq's on Sub Receiver VFO B.  On the main receive I like my CW bandwidth 
narrow (starting at 500Hz).  However, on the sub receiver I like the 
bandwidth wide so I can more easily hear which station is currently working 
the DX.  I normally set Sub Receiver BW to 1.2 KHz.
With this in mind, I modified the Split+2 Macro as follows:
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;SB1;BW0050;BW$0120;

Description:
CW DX split starting point: A>B twice, enter split, move VFO B up 2 KHz, 
RIT/XIT off, Sub Receiver ON, Set Main Receiver BW to 500Hz, Set Sub 
Receiver BW to 1.2 KHz.

These macro functions improve the K3 "ease of use" factor significantly. 
What a fantastic addition to the K3.  Depending on the interest of the 
particular operator, you can custom design many pertinent rig setting into a 
single key press.

It keeps getting better and better ;-)
