[Elecraft] CW Macros and K3/MAC integration

[David Cole]

Hi,

I can't deal with the Mac question, but the CW question I can...

There are two memories for keying either voice, or CW.  They are called
"Bank 1" and "Bank 2".  You toggle which memory you want by pressing and
holding the REC button.  This button is in the center of the memory
select button cluster on the right side of the K3.  

Once you have a Bank selected, (1, or 2), you then tap the same button
you tapped to select a bank, (REC), and then quickly tap the memory
button corresponding to the memory number you want to record.  These
buttons are the the ones clustered around the REC button in a circle.

You then send your your CW via the keyer and watch the numbers on the
face of the K3 decrement.  When they get to zero you are done.

Alternately you can edit the memories using the K3 Utility software
Elecraft provides.  Start the software, make sure it sees your K3, then
select the "Configuration" tab across the top, that will then show you a
series of buttons you can press once it changes pages.  Press the "EDIT
CW MEMORIES" software button.  That will bring up the input dialog box
for editing the CW memories.  Things should be self-explanatory from
there on, if not, shoot me a note off list.

Remember to select the correct BANK for playback and recording, or
editing via the Utility program.  

I got nicked on that as it was not obvious to me there were two banks
until I looked at the book a few times.  I spent a few moments wondering
why when I typed in my changes to Bank 1, and then tested them by
playing them back they never changed...  I was in Bank 2, which
coincidentally had the same message programed.
