[Elecraft] Macro generation

[Dick Dievendorff]

Bill:  I attempted in the K3 Utility Help to describe how to use the K3
Utility Help to enter macros, but the commands are documented in the K3
Programmer's Reference.  There are a couple of places where the K3
Programmer's Reference is mentioned I would have hyperlinked it from the
Help Text, but the name of the file changes with each revision.  The current
version is located at
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Pgmrs_Reference_Rev_C14.pdf

The K3 Programmer's Reference commands you need to turn APF on and off are a
switch emulation command, in this case SWH29; listed as "Dual PB" on page 17
of the current K3 Programmer's Reference.  This is a toggle, if you Hold the
Dual PB button once, APF will be turned on (at least in CW mode it will). If
you hold it again, it'll be turned off. 

Turning RIT on and off can be accomplished as a toggle by tapping the RIT
button (SWT45;), which would change RIT on and off with each successive
button press, or by a command specifically designed to turn the RIT on and
off (RT0; and RT1;).

The K3 Utility Help does have step by step instructions on how to use the K3
Utility to get macros into the radio, but it doesn't duplicate the entire K3
Programmer's Reference, which is frequently enhanced as new commands are
introduced.

I am totally confused on generating a macro, and the more I read on  the 
Utility Help page, the more confused I get.  Evidently, there is  somewhere
a 
list of what are called "K3 Commands" which when strung together  form a 
custom macro.  But where is the list of such  commands?
 
Can anyone who is more familiar with this than I am give me  a  step by 
step tutorial on how to create and implant in my K3 at location  PF1, a
macro 
that will turn on the APF and the RIT??? ( I am assuming this macro  will 
turn off if the PF1 is pushed a second time---or is that a bad  assumption?)
 
Gee it is tough to have spent your whole career in aerospace  electronics 
and find yourself completely out-of-date after being retired for 17  years.
