[Elecraft] NaP3 MACROS

[Kenneth A Christiansen]

Hi to the group

I had a nice response to my question from Matt VK2RQ. We exchanged information for a couple of days and got NaP3 working the way I wanted. We think the problem was the edit memory would get messed up and not copy to the config file properly when the program was shut down. If we edit one command even if it is long and immediately close the EDIT MACROS then the N3P3 program the macro is saved properly to the config file. I was able to save this long macro 
KY :    ;KY now is the time ;KY for all good men ;KY to come to the aid ;KY of their country;
by using the above procedure and it works just fine. I have also saved a macro SWT16; to simulate pressing the XMIT button and a macro SWT11;SWT19; to send the contents of memory one.

I plan to use these macros in contests as similar macros in the KX3 Utility have worked well for me.

I found I had to go into the Windows 8.1 record devices for the iMic USB sound device and set it for 2 channel 16 bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) to get the program to work properly. 

Having NaP3 working is almost like getting a new fancy radio as it adds several great features to the KX3 such as the panadapter with mouse frequency control, a SUB RECEIVER that will play at the same time as the regular receiver, Data Text and an analog S meter that is quite pleasing.

I am looking forward to using NaP3 as it solves several things that I have wanted to do for years.

73 and I do recommend this program although I am sure there are other programs that do similar things.

I do have one problem though. I want to set up some MACROS to send messages on CW or RTTY using the KX3. I think I had it working at one point this afternoon but I can't get it to work again. Does anyone have any macros set up that will send a message via CW or RTTY to the KX3 and be willing to share them with me.
