[Elecraft] [K3] Macro control of AH-4 remote tuner (and other projects).

[Glen Torr]

Hi Wayne and all,

Thanks for the invite to ask Q's about macros.

I want a remote tuner for the K3 and have purchased an Icom AH-4.  I
built a simple controller but have been thinking I would program a PIC
to automate the process but maybe macros will provide a better
solution. What I need to do is:-

1) obtain and store current power
2) obtain and store current mode
3) set power to 10 W
4) set mode to CW
5) key TX
6) wait for tune successful (dig I/O on acc. skt).
7) restore power to stored value.
8) restore mode to stored value.

I was looking at the programmers reference to see if this was doable
in a PIC but if I can do it in the K3 terrific.

Secondly, when the KX1 was released an article by Wayne appeared in
the ARS Sojourner where Wayne said that at the expense of current
projects the KX1 was developed, was the current project the K3?

Thanks all,
