[Elecraft] Power Control Setting Steps

[Mike]

Lee -

You can create a macro for each power level, and assign it to a button. I have one 
that sets the power at 45 watts for use with the amp (buttton M4), and another to set 
it to 100 watts (button M1) when I don't use the amp. And then there is the tune setting.

The K3 utility has a very fine help file on creating the macros, and assigning to 
buttons.

As the old pasta sauce ad used to say "It's in there!"
