[Elecraft] K3: Setting up WriteLog software to toggle KDVR3

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Fred,

The number between Rig and Command must be your COM port number. So if you
are using COM 1 for the K3 then all four of your macros should say
Rig1Command(xx). (I don't know if a Microham interface affects this
situation).

Also, make sure your macro definitions are in the correct writelog.ini file.
I know there are true ini files and mirror image ini files. I run Vista and
my ini file is in the Windows directory but this may not be true for all
operating systems. Be very careful. And your definitions should be preceded
by the following:
[Elecraft_K3_commands]

73,
Mike K2MK
