[Elecraft] K3 Macros in memory

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Jan,

You must assign macros to programmable function buttons. This is
(somewhat tersely, perhaps) described in the "K3 & KX3 Programmer's
Reference" on page 6. Enter the K3's CONFIG menu, and locate the
"MACRO x" entry (where 'x' is some number), then tap the number
corresponding to the macro you wish to assign (1-8), then tap or hold
the Programmable Function button that you wish to assign that macro to
(e.g. M4).

73,
