[Elecraft] K3 macro M4 tap/hold

[Paul Kirley]

Wayne sed:
When you assign an Mx switch to a macro (or as a menu shortcut), the  
firmware checks to see if that Mx switch now has *both* tap and hold  
functions assigned. If not, it sets both of them to the same  
assignment (the macro or the menu shortcut). This avoids some  
potential side effects. You can always assign both tap and hold  
functions to a single Mx switch at any time.

An Mx switch that is assigned to a macro or a menu shortcut is  
temporarily unavailable for message play. To restore it to message  
play, select CW mode, then tap Mx, tap REC, then tap Mx again. It will  
now function for message play in both CW/DATA and voice modes (if you  
have the DVR).

***************************

Thank you for that explanation.  After a bit of thought, I have realized
that it implies that a pair of toggle macros, such as I created to 
switch to and from QRP, ought to be both assigned to the same Mx switch
(one to tap, one to hold), rather than to two different Mx switches.

So I have now assigned my two macros to M4T and M4H and am happy with the
result.
