[Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)

[Rich - K1HTV]

Hi Wayne,
   Thanks for the 'CW REV' reminder. Since the K3 remembers the sideband last programmed for a band I wish that there was a simple SSB mode change command which could be used in macros rather than a specific USB or LSB command.... or does this command already exist already?  I believe that when I wrote the macros a few years ago I confirmed that such a command it wasn't available.

Thanks for a great radio. Next thing to do, after the dust settles, is to upgrade the sync boards used for the main and sub receivers.

Rich,

Thanks for re-posting this info. 

Note that some of the commands embedded in your macros may not be needed since they are already remembered on a per-mode basis. For example, once you've selected CW REV on a given band, it will always be CW REV until you change it. There are other cases as well, left as an exercise for the the reader :)

73,

Hopefully they will help you understand how to create your own macros which can be used to rotate between a series of parameter changes via a single PF1 or PF2 key press. Have fun playing with them, without as many headaches that I had in learning how to get them to work.

Parameters that are set up include mode, receiver bandwidth, audio input connector (Front Panel for microphone, rear Line-In jack for DATA-A modes), Mic Gain and Compression level for SSB, CW Speed, VFO lock for DATA-A modes like PSK31, JT65 and WSPR. You can add or change other parameters in the macros for the various modes as you see fit.
