[Elecraft] [K3] Low and High Mic gain question

[George & Jan]

Randy
Below are the Macros I use to select the Front microphone (PF1) & Rear 
microphone (FP2).
I have an electrict element in a D104 case for the front and a CM500 headset 
in the rear. You can add eq settings to these if you want different settings 
for the 2 microphones.

Front Mic
    Name -MicFP
    Macro - MG020;MN053;DN;DN;SWT11
    Assignment - FP1
Rear Mic
    Name -MicRP
    Macro - MG006;MN053;DN;DN;UP;SWT11
    Assignment - FP2

The above will leave you in the Microphone Select menu. I do that to verify 
it is correctly gain setting (High-Low). You can add ;MN255 (need the ";" to 
separate) to have the end of the macro exit the menu after SWT11.

MGnnn is the mic gain that you use for that microphone
MN053 is Mic Sel menu
UP & DN commands are equivalent to turning the VFO A knob one step.
SWT11 is Tap switch 11 [A/B(1)]. This is a toggle.
Must exit the Mic Set menu.

Error to watch out for -- Pressing FP1 or FP2 twice in a row will give you 
the wrong gain setting. That is why I make sure to leave the menu up to 
verify it is set correctly!

I think what is needed here are two PF keys, one to set the mic up for
FrontPanel, and one for the RearPanel.

  The latest K3 manual implies that the Low and High mic gain settings
are kept separately for each of the Front and Rear mic connections,
