[Elecraft] KX3 Macros commands

[David Fleming]

Gerard,

The PO; command displays actual output power. It will always respond with PO000; unless you're transmitting. See the PC; command for getting and setting the requested power output level.

At present there is no way to add a long delay to a macro. You could add a series of ;;;;; to add a short delay. 

With what other commands are you having a problem?

David, W4SMT

Hi all,

Just been playing with commands for the KX3 and found that when using the KX3 Utility on my MacBook Pro, that some commands don’t get a return.
For example: PO; always returns P0000 despite that the power has been set at 10W.
There are others as well which do not return anything after issuing a command to the KX3.

I am only just starting to look into the possibilities with Macros and I hope to make a Macro which will do (roughly) the following:

1. CW mode
2. set Power 100mW
3. sent message 1
4. Pause 10 seconds
5. set Power 1W
6. sent message 2
7. Pause 10 seconds
8. set Power 5W
9. sent message 3
10. go back to 2 or exit

Not sure if “a Pause can be done”.

Newbie here and just starting, testing and reading up with the KX3 commands.

Cheers
