[Elecraft] help with writing a macro for the KPA 1500

Howard,

Did you get your KPA1500 PF macros to work?  I use these all the time, 
doing exactly the same thing you want.

In the KPA1500 Utility, on the PF Keys tab, fill them in as:

PF1:    ^XI00;
PF2:	^XI30;

PF1 for K3 / K3S and PF2 for Flex.  I have Serial Speed XCVR set to 
38400 bps and have the USB Cables setup configured for the same speed.

Warren, KD4Z
