[Elecraft] Switch KAT3 on and off via MACRO Button

[Dick Dievendorff]

Hi, Robby.  I do it in the K3 Utility (for Tx Gain calibration) with the
Menu Select (MN) and Menu Parameter (MP) commands.

To put the KAT3 into bypass:  MN055;MP001;MN255;

I don't have a K3 with me (I'm in a hotel room, traveling), but I can tell
you how to determine the MP value to use to put the KPA3 back to its "PA
nor" state:

Using the K3 Utility's command tester, enter "MN055;" and observe the K3's
LCD display.  It should open the KPA3 menu item.  Then enter "MP000;" in the
command tester.  The K3's LCD display should say "not installed".  Then
enter "MP001;" in the command tester.  The K3's LCD display should say
"bypassed".  Keep entering increasing values of MP00x; and you should
eventually get to the MP value that is "Pa Nor", which is the one you want
for "not bypassed".

Or you can rotate the VFO A dial to run through the KPA3 menu items, seet it
on the one you want, and enter "MP;" in the command tester, and the K3 will
respond with the MPxxx; that corresponds to the current menu selection.

MN255; closes the menu and returns to normal VFO A frequency display.

I am trying to switch my KAT3 to AUTO or BYP with PF keys. I want to make M1
set the power to 70W and KAT3 to BYP when using the amp and M2 set power to
100W and KAT3 to AUTO when barefoot.
I looked at the programmers guide but did not discover a way to do this. The
power part was easy.
