[Elecraft] KX3 Macro for Dual Watch on/off & split up 2

[Jim Sheldon]

Thanks to Wayne's pointing to the proper Dual Watch Command SB1 for on and SB0 for off, I've got a working set of Macros assigned to PF1 and PF2 to effectively turn split on, set the B VFO up 2 KHz, Turn on Dual Watch so I can hear the pile (must use stereo headphones or plug in a set of stereo speakers) and make sure RIT and XIT are both off.

The VFO B knob will tune the second receive frequency.

I set PF1 to turn it on and PF2 to turn it off.  The 2 macros tested functional on the TX5K pileup on 20 meters a few minutes ago.  Use the LATEST KX3 Utility to send these to the KX3.

A>B;A>B; (Tap A>B twice to make sure A and B are set to the same frequency and mode to start out with) SET TRANSMIT TO VFO B;MOVE VFO B FREQUENCY UP 2 KHZ;TURN DUAL WATCH ON;TURN RIT OFF;TURN XIT OFF;

SWT25;SWT25;FT1;UPB5;SB1;RT0;XT0;      (Assign this macro to PF1 according to the instructions in the KX3 manual)

Restore everything to what it was before, turning Dual Watch off, setting TX back to the A VFO and again make sure RIT and XIT are off.  This last may not be necessary but better safe than sorry.


SWT25;SWT25;FT0;SB0;RT0;XT0;            (Assign this one to PF2)

Remember the semicolons after each command or it won't work.
