[Elecraft] What are your favorite K3 and KX3 macros?

[Joel Black]

Hajo,

I like your macro. I didn’t realize how poor the band conditions were until I tried to check into a state-wide 75 m net last night.

Here are the two things I have programmed in my KX3 at the moment:

PF1 - (Macro 1) MD3;SWT25;SWT25;FT1;SB1;UPB4;MN142;MP001;MN110;SWT27;SWH18;MN255;
(Macro 2) SB0;FR0;MN142;MP000;MN110;SWT19;SWH18;MN255;

PF2 - Turns on and off my ATU.

PF1 looks more complicated than it is. As it is written, Macro 1 puts the KX3 into CW mode, puts the radio into split mode and moves the transmit frequency up 1 kHz (UP 1).

Macro 1 goes into the Macro 1 slot in the KX3 program and Macro 2 goes into the Macro 2 slot. Macro 1 will load on the first long press of the PF1 button and pre-stage Macro 2. The second long press will execute Macro 2. It can be configured with different modes, power settings, split settings, etc.

73,
Joel - W4JBB
