[Elecraft] Using WriteLog to control KDVR3

[Fabio IZ4AFW / NZ1W]

Jack,
    to add another macro you can add any Macro_xx command and use the 
same number in the Writelog window ("Rig command number" must match 
Macro number). I think (but I didn't try) you can use any unused number 
in the "Macro_" line.

Regarding Auto-CQ, I think you have to experiment a little with the 
delay in the window; Writelog just sends a command to the K3, but has no 
way to know how long the message lasts. You want to use not too low a 
number so that the new command is sent by Writelog after the first 
message has ended.
Try starting with a pretty high number then you will find the correct 
value based on the recorded message.
