[Elecraft] OT: Up two ?

[K6LE]

Lately it seems that most CW DX stations I have worked are listening up 1 or 2.  Of course, for SSB they would want the bigger split of "up 5" or so.

By changing the "UPB"  value in those macros (which I had a little off)  you can change the split.

For example:  

SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;

will give you "Up 2"

and for the wider SSB split:

SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0;

yields "Up 5" 

If you then push the Split button twice it will unset the Split and re-equalize the VFO's

BTW,  These Macros are copied or derived from the examples in the "K3 Programmers Reference"
