[Elecraft] [K3] List of Macros

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Mike,

Roy's asking about K3 macros, as described on pages 5 and 6 of the "K3
and KX3 Programmer's Reference".

I don't know that there's a "definitive" list anywhere, but Google
found some, including:

http://www.ke7x.com/home/k3-macro-repository
http://gm0elp.blogspot.com/2010/03/elecraft-k3-macros.html

Seems like this would be a really good application for a wiki, but I
think the Elecraft wiki that was around a few years ago died off ...
(?)

73,
