Broken VFO B Encoder-menu access?

[OE5CSP-Chris]

I hardly dare to ask this question, but is there a way to access into the menu and change settings which is normally done by using VFO B. It will take 2-3 weeks until I get a replacement part.

Hi Chris,

You didn't mention which Elecraft product you're using.  Check the Programmer's Reference for your product in order to see whether the menu parameter(s) in question can be set using a remote-control command (e.g., MN / MP).  You should be able to execute the remote-control command from the associated PC-based utility (e.g., KX3 Utility).

Sorry, it´s a K3.

Chris,

Yes, you can by creating Macros or by writing software to issue commands
that will get you into the menu and change it.
The K3/KX3 Programmers Reference can tell you how to do it.

I do not recall that anyone has written software to do all of that, but
there are some which do bits and pieces of it.

If you want to develop your own software, I suggest that there may be
several others who would like to take advantage of it - but it may take
you longer than your wait for the new encoder.

Many of the menu functions have program commands which address them, which
can easily be typed into the command tester in the K3 Utility. Save the
ones that you get working and need repeatedly in the Macro switches and
assign them to K3 buttons. Once you get acquainted with that you might even
far prefer the macro commands than all the dial twisting when everything is
working.
