[Elecraft] K3 Triple Macro - Corrected version

[Wayne Burdick]

Rich,

This is a very clever use of the K3's macro facility.

Here's how it works (for those who are not quite motivated enough to  
look up all those commands): Each of the three switch macros sets a  
different power level -- that's the obvious part (PCxxx). Normally,  
you'd assign each of them to a different programmable switch and leave  
it at that. Instead, Rich set up the macros so that holding PF2 not  
only changes the power level, it then *changes* PF2's macro assignment  
to the next macro in the sequence. The last macro (100 W) "wraps" back  
to the first macro (10 W).

It's a little bit like self-modifying code. Wish I had thought of this  
myself :)

You could use the same technique to set up a single programmable  
switch to top among a few favorite frequencies, or even bands, on  
repeated taps.

73,
Wayne
