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

[Wayne Burdick]

Great, Jim. It also turns out there's a way to toggle between two or  
more macros on a single PFx switch. Mark Goldberg thought of this.  
Here's his example that rotates through four macros on PF1 using self- 
modifying setups:

This should work on the KX3 or K3, and you could use the technique to  
do both a special SPLIT on and return-to-normal macro on just PF1 (or  
PF2).
