Band Changing Macro

Don Nelson
I am now learning to create macros for my K3.

I want to make a macro that will take the K3 from whatever band and
frequency where it is and go to the last used frequency on another band,
say 10m. I have made a macro that will take the K3 to 28.400 MHz. I want
a macro to take the K3 to 28.xxx where xxx is the frequency where the K3
was when it was last on 10m.

As a bonus, I would like to have a frequency FIFO (first in first out)
stack. I doubt that this can be done with a macro or set of macros. But
it is worth asking none the less.

Don, N0YE

You can go to the last used frequency and mode on a band by configuring
CONFIG:MEM 0-9 to BAND SEL.  I also use the M1-M4 quick memories for each
band.  I set up all of those memories using the Elecraft K3 Frequency Memory
Editor Program.

This information is on page 16 of the current manual.

I use free DXLab Suite of programs (http://www.dxlabsuite.com/) including
the Commander rig control program.  That program has ten banks of ten
memories each so selecting a memory takes one or two mouse clicks, making it
much more flexible than using the memories in the K3.
