[Elecraft] New P3 command and Macros...

[Dave Cole]

A new command will be incorporated into the next P3 software release--
RCF.

This new command allows one to move the P3 CENTER frequency around on
the P3 screen, via relative moves, as opposed to the current absolute
moves now available....  What can this do for you?

In the macro below:

SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0;#SPN000060;#RCF+002500;

The K3 is placed in SPLIT 5 KHZ up mode, and the P3 is placed into a
mode where the receive frequency is on the left edge of the P3 screen,
showing the pileup on the right in the above 5 KHz.  

This allows you to see all stations you can hear who are transmitting
up 5 from your target station.  You can then place your transmit
frequency into the empty spots where no one is transmitting, that you
can see, above a DX station using VFO B.

I have updated the spreadsheet at: http://nk7z.net/adding-an-external-k
eypad-to-the-k3/ to include the above macro.  I have also updated the
CLEAR SPLIT macro in the spreadsheet to clear the split, and return the
P3 to center.  I have tested this with the Genovation Keypad, and it
works like a charm...  

Many thanks to Elecraft for taking the time to listen to input from the
users, and for adding a command to allow this...  I honestly can say, I
know of no other company, which listens to the users and actually does
something as a result of listening to users other than Elecraft...  I
am amazed at the customer service from Elecraft...  

THANK YOU AGAIN for this level of support Elecraft.
