[Elecraft] K3 Macro toggle

[Pierfrancesco Caci]

Many thanks for this nice example. Now, I would like to free up M4-HOLD,
but I can't find anywhere in the manuals how to delete a macro
assignment from one of the programmable keys. Is it possible at all, or
should I just wait for when I come up with my next macro and just
replace it?
