[Elecraft] R: Re: Macro sequencing

[glcazzola at alice.it]

Great Fred!After reading your beautiful book about the Elecraft K3s i was sure that you were the right man for my problem! :)You were very clear and this evening I will actuate your instructions.Only another question, if you permit me.You say and repeat "THR between 12 and 20".It seem that also you dont like agc thr  lower than 12...Is it so?But Elecraft set THR 5 and SLP 12 when a lot of hams prefer to reverse, thr 12 slp 5.Do you know why Elecraft/Wayne prefer THR 5 and SLP 12?Many thanks for your very appreciated time spent here.Ian IK4EWX
PS I am sure that lot of people would appreciate if in your beautiful books you will suggest other macros, easy for you but not for us :)

Here ya go.






Toggle AGC THR between 012 and 020

Toggle AGC THR between 012 and 020 by holding M1 

Uses Macro 4 and Macro 5 and M1.

Assign the following to Macro 4:



MN074;  Select the AGC THR menu.

MP020;   Set THR to 020;

SWT14;   Tap the MENU switch to exit this menu.

MN110;  Enter the MACRO n menu.

SWT27;  Tap the 5 switch.

SWH21;  Hold M1.  (This assigns M1 to the commands in Macro 5 for the next hold.)

MN255;   Exit menu mode.



MN074;MP020;SWT14;MN110;SWT27;SWH21;MN255;



Assign the following to Macro 5:



MN074;  Select the AGC THR menu.

MP012;   Set THR to 012;

SWT14;  Tap the MENU switch.

MN110;  Enter the MACRO n menu.

SWT24;  Tap the  4 switch.

SWH21;  Hold M1.  (This assigns M1 to the commands in Macro 4 for the next hold.)

MN255;  Exit menu mode.



MN074;MP012;SWT14;MN110;SWT24;SWH21;MN255;





Enter the CONFIG:MACRO x menu and tap  4.

Hold M1 to program it to execute MACRO 4.

Each time you hold M1 the threshold switches between 012 and 020.



Using a K*Pod button to toggle AGC THR.



A K*Pod button cannot directly replace the M1 function key in the Toggle THR macro (above)


but you can use a K*Pod button to activate a macro that holds M1.

SWH21;  Hold M1.



Write this macro to one of the 16 in the K3S/K3 and tap or hold the corresponding K*Pod switch.




Cheers,



Fred KE7X

Fred, can you specify the macro for setting two different options of AGC, for example:



a) thr 10 - slp 5
B) thr 6 - slp 12



I would like to set them both on PF2 and on different macros on K-Pod.



I have seen examples on your K3S book that I own  and on ham web pages. I have programmed split+2 on and off on PF1,  and on K-Pod, pwr 100 and pwr 65 (for driving amp), but dont understand how to set these values for AGC in a macro.



Thanks
Ian IK4EWX

We have seen some great macro ideas where a single function key is used to toggle between two different K3 states, e.g. in and out of split, toggling between two AGC THR settings, etc.  Unfortunately, this idea cannot be used (directly) with a KPod button. 
 Each of the the 16 KPod buttons are dedicated to a single macro and cannot be changed like the function key assignments can.





However, I just twigged onto the thought that you can assign a third macro to be activated by a KPod key that then toggles the macro sequence.  For example, if you use a hold of PF2 to toggle in and out of split, that uses Macro 7 and Macro 8 (say) you can
 assign SWH47; to Macro 9 and then tap the KPod F1 key to run Macro 7 and then Macro 8 in sequence.





Don't why I didn't think of it before or if I missed it when somebody else mentioned it.





have a good weekend all.



73,
