[Elecraft] How to program quick 100 or 200 KHz QSY

[Wayne Burdick]

Pete,

To do this, you'll need to create UP and DN macros using K3 Utility,  
then assign them to programmable function switches. K3 Utility has  
full instructions on how to do this (in the Command Tester screen).

Here's the documentation on UPn/DNn from the Programmer's Reference:

* * *

DN/DNB (Move VFO A or B, or Menu Entry/Parameter Down; SET only)

SET format: DN; or DNB; or DNn; or DNBn; where n is an optional VFO  
change specification. DN; and DNn; move VFO A (or the menu parameter)  
down. DNB; and DNBn; move VFO B (or the menu entry) down.

VFO displacement, n: 0=1 Hz; 1 or not used=10 Hz; 2=20 Hz; 3=50 Hz;  
4=1 kHz; 5=2 kHz; 6=3 kHz; 7=5 kHz; 8=100 Hz; 9=200 Hz.

* * *

A macro to go up 100 kHz would be pretty long:  "UP7;" repeated 20  
times. Macros can have up to 120 characters, so this will easily fit.
