[Elecraft] [K3] Recent post about n1mm macros to send FSK without fancy hardware

[Richard Ferch]

In N1MM+, use the macro {CAT1ASC KY text;} to send "text". Spaces and ; 
are significant - see the N1MM+ on-line documentation and the K3/KX3 
Programmer's Manual.

You can insert N1MM substitution macros like #, * and ! as long as the 
total length of the text to be sent stays below 24 characters. I believe 
you can also insert control characters by enclosing the hex code in 
angle brackets, e.g. <0D> for a CR character, etc.

I have never tried this next, but I believe you can do something similar 
from DXLab Suite's WinWarbler by using the External Modem tab in the 
Config window and setting the Model to Xcvr Ctrl App. Commander must be 
running for this to work. There may be other configuration settings that 
are needed along with this.

WinWarbler also has a radio control macro similar to the N1MM+ {CAT1ASC} 
macro that could be used in function-key macros, namely <xcvrcommand: 
'KY text;> (note the ' ) - but I don't know whether you can use this in 
combination with other substitution macros, or whether you can embed 
control characters in the text.
