Hi to the group

Last night I asked the group some questions but today I figured out the answers so thought I should pass them along.

I had another remote setup several years ago but it only had a few MACROS and for that reason and all the wires I had to hook or change to use it was nothing but trouble and I have not used it for the last several years.

The MFJ1234 has 32 MACROS available and I have used 21 of them. Now I can walk away from my K3S at home without making any changes from my local use and set it up the way I need while at my camping spot. The feature I was asking help with last night was changing the MIC SEL on the K3s from rP.L b1 A5 to LI ne In . 
The MACRO I used for this is *0w MN053;UP053;MN255;

I can tune the antenna tuner, set power, set the mic gain and compression, work CW from a keyboard etc. If I need more MACROS I still have several left that I can use. The hams in the area say I sound good on 160 meters SSB and one even sent me an audio recording that sounded fine to me. I find I can hear and be heard as well through the remote as I can sitting in front of the K3S.

I only have two cables hooked up. The data cable to the router and the USB connection to the K3S and I can leave both of them connected all the time. This lets me listen in the middle of the night or walking on the sidewalk any time on my iPhone and I can even join in if I want.
