[Elecraft] Fwd: RE: Batch programming with KX3 Utility program?

[Don Wilhelm]

I have been corrected by the "Macro Expert".
Still, with the KX3 there are 3 Macros that can be stored in the KX3.
Just make certain you use those 3 if you want to be computer independent.

Macros are stored on the PC, in the Windows registry. The K3 can store up
to 8 (of the 32 possible) of these macros internally, the KX3 can store 3
macros, and the KX2 stores no command macros.

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
