[Elecraft] K3 Switch Customization Info available in the K3 Programmer's Reference

[Mike Cox]

This is pretty cool! The installation and use of the new software went 
smoothly. I dove into customizing the "Quick Split" macro for my 
specialty; CW DXing. Using Wayne's macro as a start, I added the SB1 
command to (always) turn on the sub receiver and the BW$0080 to widen 
out the sub Rx to 800 Hz to aid in searching for the (sometimes) elusive 
QSX frequency of the DX station. I also changed the QSX to +1KHz since 
many CW DX guys who start out a session in simplex and then split as 
things get too busy for simplex, usually start at +1KHz.

The MACRO:
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB4;RT0;XT0;SB1;BW$0080

Now when the weak DX that is annoying us all by working a simplex pileup 
finally says "up 1", a single button press gets you there before most of 
the rest! If the split is otherwise, I then only need spin the B VFO 
knob. I love it!

Now for DSP macros so we can turn on the main Rx in both ears while 
searching for the QSX in the right only... ;-)
