[Elecraft] How to build a quick split macro for memory button

[Brendan Minish]

Hi Don,

macros are a great feature. As you are building them you can test them
with the Elecraft utility and when you are happy you upload them to the
radio 
you can set up a macro for anything you can define as a series of
commands.
take a look at the K3 programming reference guide to see what commands
are available for use (basically everything including accessing menus ) 
Once macros are uploaded to the radio you can assign them to

M1-M4 tap and M1-M4 Hold as well as PF1 and PF2 
  

My Spit +2 looks like (assigned M2-tap)

DV0;SWT13;SW13;FT1;UPB5;XT0;SB1;MN111;MP001;MN255;BW$0100;


Broken down this is 

DV0; (diversity off)
SWT13;SW13; (two taps of A>B) to copy all settings 
FT1; Split on 
UPB5; up 2 Khz (UPB4; up 1KHz UPB6; up 3Khz, UPB7; 5Khz )
XT0; (XIT off )
SB1; (Sub RX on)
MN111;MP001;MN255; (L-mix-R) to A Ab (main in both ears, sub in right)
BW$0100; (Set VFOB filter to 1Khz to make hearing the callers easier)

I also have a clean-up macro that puts things back to a normal,
consistent state (assigned M2-Hold) 

FT0;RT0;DV0;SB1;MN111;MP000;MN255;SB0;

Broken down this is 

FT0; Split off
RT0; RIT off
DV0; Diversity off
SB1; SUB on (needs to be on for next command to be valid)
MN111;MP000;MN255; (set L-mix-R to A B )
SB0; SUB off again 


hope this helps
