[Elecraft] N1MM/K3/KX3 Programming

Through N1MM and K3 software commands, I am able to send keying messages of
specific text from n1mm to the K3.  In order to pass variables, such as the
other station and serial number, I need help to figure that out.

winkeyer command example to send cq from N1MM:

F1 RUN CQ,*cq {CQ MYCALL} {MYCALL} TEST*
K3 Command sent to K3 on com1 from N1MM:

F1 Run CQ,* {CATA1ASC ky cq na1dx na1dx test;}*
What I need to do is send the variable {TX} which is the station to work

WinKeyer Example:

F5 His Call,*{TX} ! de {MYCALL} {SENTRST} {EXCH} {EXCH} {MYCALL} TU k {RX}*

F5 His Call,* {CATA1ASC KY **{TX} ! **de {MYCALL} {SENTRST} {EXCH} {EXCH}
{MYCALL} TU k {RX};*


Is there a way you can escape from literal text to allow N1MM to pass text
from the variable {TX} and {EXCHANGE} as an example?

In my prior life doing programming with some weird languages, I remember
putting like an " or other special character to say don't use the following
text literally but capture the values out of a variable.

If you could, then you would not need a winkeyer or PSK/FSK/AFSK RTTY
sending device ever connected to the KX3/K3 for those modes.

You could use a sound card to assist in decoding or do like NaP3 does and
capture the output of the built in decoder.
