[Elecraft] K3 Macro Suggestions

[David Gilbert]

With no intent to be sarcastic, and in light of K6KR's comments about 
certain things not being saved during power off, why don't you simply 
use 'TEST" and "LOCK" to essentially disable the K3 while you are away 
from it?  There isn't going to be an appreciable power drain in receive, 
and off the top of my head I can't think of anything else you'd gain by 
some sort of sleep mode.  I don't think this is an obvious situation 
where one button press is better than two.
