[Elecraft] K3 Macros in memory

I would like help in programming the four buttons (M1-M4) that are in a 
circle at the right of the K3.

I have the K3 Utility, and I have gotten it to  label one of the buttons 
and to get it to set the power.  The button labeled M3 appears to 
correspond to Macro 1.  If I label it 10W, that shows on the screen when 
it is pressed, and I can use any number.    I am not sure that this is 
the correct way to program these buttons.

Furthermore, I used this code:  "PC010;" to get it to change the power 
to 10 watts, and I can make that any power by changing the three 
digits.  However, I do not seem to be able to program the other buttons, 
M1, M2, and M4.  Despite what I put in Macros 2-4, M4 corresponds 
exactly to M3; whatever I do for Macro 1 affects both M3 and M4 the same 
way.

I need the procedure to program the buttons.  I need to know which macro 
corresponds to which button, and if this is the correct procedure in the 
first place.  I have similar code in macros 3 and 4, but buttons M1 and 
M2 return the message: "END" and do not do anything to the power output.

Thank you,

Jan, KX2A
