[Elecraft] [K3] List of Macros

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Roy,

Here is how I understand the ability to send macros from a PC. Perhaps
others can add to or correct my response. In order to send a macro from your
PC to the K3 and P3 you will need to be running a program that is already
communicating with the K3 over a serial channel. You didn't mention how your
are operating PSK and RTTY. Are you using a PC program or are you using the
internal capabilities of the K3? If the latter and if you have the SVGA
board in your P3 and have an external monitor and keyboard attached then I
believe that capability is already available to you using the F keys on the
external keyboard.

Back to the PC. If you are running a program for PSK and RTTY then it would
have to have the capability to send macros built into it. For example
WriteLog and N1MM have that ability. I use WriteLog for CW and RTTY and I
have macros set up on the F12 button and the multiply (asterisk) button of
my PC keyboard. The F12 button activates the K3 auto spotting feature for CW
and also centers the signal on the P3 screen when the P3 is in the Fixed
Tune mode. The multiply (asterisk) button toggles the APF function when in
CW and toggles the dual passband function when in RTTY.

73,
