TRX manager has added 4 more macro buttons for a total of 8 to the K3 version and each has the ability to have one button send two different command strings. One when pushed the first time and a different command string the second time. The set up is done in TRX manager and not in the K3 system. You right click on the TRX macro button you want to program and a window comes up with two command lines. In the first you type the commands for what you want to accomplish with the first push and on the second command line you enter the string that you want to accomplish on the second push. There is a box you check that is labeled OFF.
I use this for a tune sequence. I want the K3 to transmit 5 watts when I hit the macro button. It will continue to transmit until I hit it again. With the second push it will stop transmitting at 5 watts and return my power level to 40 watts. This allows me to use low power to tune the antenna tuner and the linear with very low power and then tune the linear at full power using the tune control on the K3. 40 watts of drive is 1500 watts from the linear. The two command strings I use are:
PC005;SWH16;
SWH16;PC040;
I dont think this will work with a single macro button straight into the K3 but Wayne may be able to discern what Laurent has done in TRX manager and set up this same dual command capability in the K3 macro system
