[Elecraft] K3 Macro toggle

[KU4AF]

Two macros instead of one - that sums up what is needed, but how to call two
macros with one button? I was just fiddling around and came up with this,
though it may not be original. The idea is to let the macro itself reassign
the PF key to a different macro. For example, say you want the PF2 key to
toggle between setting VFO A to 14010 and 14020 (not useful but just an
example).

Use the Utility to create the two macros like this:

MACRO1   FA00014010000;MN110;SWT12;SWH47;SWT14;
MACRO2   FA00014020000;MN110;SWT11;SWH47;SWT14;

Send the Macros to the K3 then, on the K3, go to CONFIG:MACRO X, tap 1 and
then hold PF2. Tap MENU to get out of CONFIG. Now MACRO1 is assigned to PF2.
When you Hold PF2 the macro changes the frequency and then assigns MACRO2 to
PF2. The next operation of PF2 sets a different frequency and sets PF2 back
to MACRO1.

Substitute whatever you want to toggle between for the FA commands. Put the
two macros in whatever slots you have open and change the SWT11/12 taps to
match. Change SWH47 to match the PF/M button you want to use. You could also
expand on this to rotate among 3 or more macros.

I expect others can add to this and again, I claim no originality for this
idea. Now, who will be the first to suggest we need more than 8 Macro slots?

Stewart,

What you are asking is not possible in one macro.  You could do it with 
two macros - one to turn it on and the other to turn it off.
