[Elecraft] Firing off a macro via MixW

Hi Tony,
Thank you!  Got my first macro going...  It adjusts MixW to the sweet
spot for my hearing, then moves the passband of the K3 to that same
freq, and then narrows down the Bandwidth to a few hundred HZ.  

Also got my three filter select Macros going...  

Wow...  CATCMD, (THANK YOU Elecraft for using ASCII), is a lot better
than CATHEXMODE I got sick of converting everything to double secret
Icom control codes, then converting that to HEX, then firing it off at
teh radio.  Now I just use ASCII!  I am thinking of building a little
box I can insert in the RS-232 line, and insert commands whenever I
want, using a separate control panel. I WILL have my remote control for
firing off radio macros soon...  Probably make that a winter project.
it should not be hard at all.

Thanks a million Tony...
