[Elecraft] Big weakness in Macro's

[Wayne Burdick]

Ed,

The switch emulation commands provide a method of activating functions  
for which there are not yet "direct" commands. In many cases both  
methods are available. For example, you can turn the preamp on/off  
with a switch emulation, which toggles, but there's also a separate  
command for this that sets it either on or off.

Please refer to the K3/KX3 Programmer's Reference for the full list of  
commands. If there are specific cases where a new direct command would  
be desirable, please let me know.

73,
Wayne
