[Elecraft] K3 Triple Macro - Corrected version

[Vic K2VCO]

I believe that John von Neumann or one of the other pioneers of computing thought at one 
time that the possibility of self-modifying programs was a huge advance made possible by 
stored-program computers. The program itself could be data!

But then someone proved that anything you could do by modifying the program could be done 
in other ways and people decided that there were lots of downsides to changeable code.
