[Elecraft] Macros

[Jim Leder (Hotmail)]

The 2 macros I use work OK since I reloaded the firmware. I tried so many 
different, fancy things prior to getting messed up, I'm not sure what they 
were now, but it was a lot. That's when I attempted to go back to what I 
knew was OK, but they didn't work either. That's when I got desperate and as 
a last resort, reloaded the 4.60 firmware.

Here are the two ORIGINAL macros that now work once again:

CW MD3;BW0040;SWH45;MN255;   /* PF1 hold */
FSK MD6;DT2;BW0050;SWH47;MN255;  /* PF2  hold */

Seems something in the firmware got out of sorts by my screwing around with 
those two macros, but I don't know how.

Thanks ... 73

Jim
