Kevin,

I don't think you can do that with a KX3 Utility configuration file.
But you should be able to do it with Macros - look at the commands in 
the K3/KX3 Programmer's reference.

An advantage of using Macros, is that they are stored in the KX3 and not 
in a computer file, so no worry about the OS running on the computer.

A side comment -- Why are many inserting hyphens in Elecraft model 
designations?  It is KX3 (not KX-3), K3 (not K-3), K3S (not K-3S), etc.
There are only 2 exceptions to this - the Elecraft N-Gen and K-Pod.
Look at the Elecraft products - no hyphens.  Leave the hyphens to other 
manufacturers who change the number after the hyphen to designate an 
"upgraded" version that you can only obtain by buying the new model.
The Elecraft KX3 is not an upgraded KX2, it is an entirely separate radio.

END RANT
