[Elecraft] Switch KAT3 on and off via MACRO Button

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Robby,

I don't have a KAT3, so can't test this, but there's a hint in the
Programmer's Reference that there may be a "ATU MD" menu item (not
sure if MAIN or CONFIG) that can be manipulated with the MN/MP
commands. Could you check if such a menu item exists, and if it
appears to provide the options that you need?

"3. The following menu parameters are directly accessible via MP: MSG
RPT, LIN OUT,
TUN PWR, AFX MD, RPT OFS, ATU MD, VCO MD, AGC THR. The menu entry must
first be selected using MN. All MP-accessible parameters are noted
with ‡ in the MN
table."

... except "ATU MD" is not mentioned in the MN table, nor in the
Owner's Manual or firmware release notes, as far as I can see.....

If it does exist, you'll need a number for it, to be able to use the
MN command. Maybe Wayne can enlighten...

Actually, as I'm about to hit "Send", Dick may have answered the
question ... but it seems it really needs to be documented...

73,
