[Elecraft] Macro for Power Output

  Lee,

The PC command is both a GET and SET command (see Programmer's reference 
for syntax), so yes macros can be created to set the power.
A process where the "nnn" value would be varied requires some "smarts" 
in the device sending the macro,
Note that the number in the "nnn" value is dependent on the power range, 
so additional commands may be necessary.

It really sounds like you want more computation than is afforded by only 
a macro.
i.e. Find the power range, change it if required, compute the correct 
value for "nnn", and then send the PCnnn command.

73,
