[Elecraft] KEYBOARD

[Dave Cole (NK7Z)]

Hi Bob,

On a related subject, but not quite what you asked about, if you are 
just looking for a way to fire off macros at the K3, and have the SVGA 
for the P3, see:

https://www.nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/

This is a way to use a 64 key Genovation keypad to fire off complex 
macros to the K3/P3, using a single keypress, from a dedicated pad, as 
opposed to having to type in macros, or triggers to the K3/P3 radio 
complex via a keyboard.

An example of what can be done would be the "Offset +" macro-- I press a 
single button on the Genovation keypad, and the Radio drops into split, 
the P3 shifts the CW signal to the left side of the display, while 
setting the bandwidth for the P3 to 6 KHz., to show the top part of the 
pile up, and then sets the K3 bandwidth to whatever I have set in the 
macro, all with a single button press.

I currently have 32 macros programmed up, some for power level setting, 
switching VFOs, triggering the K3 memories in CW or Voice, setting K3 
bandwidths, contest exchanges, IDs, etc.

There is a spread sheet of macros you can download for use within the 
Genovation setup at that URL as well.  I seldom even touch the K3 now, 
but to tune, or turn it on, or off.  Most of my K3/P3 operations comes 
from the Genovation keypad.

73s and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
