[Elecraft] Macro save current state of setting

[Don Wilhelm]

Joe,

Your problem is that Macros cannot read anything and save it.  They can 
only initiate things.  Setting the power to 10 watts and initiating a 
TUNE is quite possible (and even spelled out in the Macro examples in 
the K3 Programmer's Reference), but getting the power back to wherever 
it was previously set is the difficult part.  you could restore the 
power to some predetermined level - say 100 watts.

73,
Don W3FPR
