[Elecraft] KY Command

[Wayne Burdick]

Use the "KYW" form of the command. Inserting a 'W' in place of the normal space causes any subsequent command (in this case "RX;") to wait for the text string to be sent.

I have no problem setting up a Keyboard shortcut which then sends the data in the KY command, however I cannot find a way to stop the K3 from transmitting after the command sends the data in KY.  I see there is an RX; command to end the TX.  I also tried a SWT16 to create a press of the XMIT button.  I cannot find a syntax that works for combining the RX or SWT16 command at the end of my KY command.  I do not want to use another key press.  I was hoping to do it with one line of data.
