The macro routines are a great addition to the K3. I've added two routines
that up until now, I was engaging manually through multiple button pushes.
I've slightly modified the Split+2 to also open up the Sub Rx and assign it
to a fast tap on button "M1." Clearing that routine is accomplished with a
press-and-hold of button M1.
Secondly, I've added a macro to activate the Sub Rx, sync VFOs, then link
the two VFOs. This function is assigned to button M2, and cleared by a
press-and hold of M2. Here's the code used for the Split+2 function.
Notice, that it adds "SB1" to Elecraft's Split+2 example.:
SB1;SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;
Clearing it then...
SB0;FT0;RT0;XT0;LN0;SQ000;
The macro for activating the Sub Rx, synchronizing frequencies, and linking
VFO's:
SB1;SWT13;SWT13;LN1;
Clearing it...
SB0;LN0;
If there's already a repository of macro examples being kept on-line, I
would like to hear about it. That would be a great way to share macro
information any try examples created by others.
