[Elecraft] K3 - macro needed for RX mute

[Jim N7US]

Bill, I have my PF1 loaded with the following macro:

MN097;DN;MN255;

It toggles SPKR+PH on and off.  I leave headphones plugged in all the time
and usually use them, but you could still use this macro even if you don't
use headphones.

I have a similar macro in DXLab's Commander but I can use PF1 even if I
don't have DXLab running.

I need a toggle style macro to mute/unmute the RX audio on my K3.

When I get a phone call or someone comes in the radio room it is often
necessary that I turn the audio down on the K3. Currently I use a button for
setting AG000 - which effectively kills the RX audio - however, I must
manually reset the audio with the AF gain pot.

It would be much easier to push a toggle for mute and another to push to
return to the original AF gain setting.

I use a Pigknob with programmable buttons for rig control - including VFO.

Note: I feed my speakers from the rear of the K3 and never use phones.

Thanks,
