[Elecraft] Now that the K-Pod is shipping, we could use your help with useful macros

[Bill Frantz]

I have a couple I have just written:

PSK: MD6;DT0;PC035;AG000;IS 1450;BW0230

Go to Data mode and then Data A. Set output to 35 watts. Turn 
audio gain to zero. Set filter center to 1.450 KHz and bandwidth 
to 2.300 KHz

This macro sets up for computer PSK, MFSK etc. modes and opens 
up the filter so the whole waterfall on my digital program can 
show signal.


RTTY: MD6;DT1;IS 9000;BW0040

Goes to Data mode and then AFSKA A. Sets the filter center to 
normal and the bandwidth to 400 HZ.


I really need to be able to sense settings and then make choices 
based on the setting. The PSK macro would be better if it didn't 
raise the power output, so if is used while QRP contesting, it 
doesn't accidentally power you out of your entry category. But I 
don't want to come on PSK at 100 watts, so I would like to set 
35 watts only if the current power is higher. I would also like 
to make the power setting safe with milliwatt transverters.

A SSB macro would need to know the band to determine whether USB 
or LSB is the right setting.
