Firing off a macro via MixW

Hi,

Does anyone have an example Hex command being fired off to a K3 from a
MixW Macro they could send me please?

I used to have a set of macros for MixW and my Pro 3, and want to
recreate them. I can send hex out from MixW, so I want to see if I can
do some control via MixW Macros.

Dave,

Here are three simple examples:
Puts everything in CW Mode
<CATCMDHEX:00 00 00 02 0C>
<CATWAIT:50>
<CATCMDHEX:00 00 00 00 08>
<MODE:CW>
Puts everything in LSB Mode
<MODE:SSB>
<CATCMDHEX:00 00 00 00 0C>
Puts everything in USB Mode
<MODE:SSB>
<CATCMDHEX:00 00 00 01 0C>

73,
Tony KT0NY

Tony,

Where did you get the list of commands from?

If you have the MixW help files installed, you can find a very extensive
list of macro commands there. The best way to send commands to the K3 is
not via Hex, but via CATCMD. Then you just follow the Elecraft Programmer's
Guide. Here's an example:

<CATCMD:KY <MYCALL>;>

You start with <CATCMD: Then you append the instructions as found in the
Programmer's Guide (downloadable from the Elecraft software page). There
are many examples there already worked out for you, so you can just copy
them or modify them to your needs.

Re: Firing off a macro via MixW

Again, thank you Tony!!! Now that I am finally getting moved into the
K3, it is time to start addressing the lost macros from my Pro 3. I had
not used the CATCMD from MixW, so that will be a fun!!! Sure will make
it easy!

I just wish FLDigi did direct RTS or DTR keying for CW now, I'd consider
moving to it from MixW. I detest the audio only interface FLDigi uses
for CW keying.

Re: Firing off a macro via MixW

Hi Tony,
Thank you! Got my first macro going... It adjusts MixW to the sweet
spot for my hearing, then moves the passband of the K3 to that same
freq, and then narrows down the Bandwidth to a few hundred HZ.

Also got my three filter select Macros going...

Wow... CATCMD, (THANK YOU Elecraft for using ASCII), is a lot better
than CATHEXMODE I got sick of converting everything to double secret
Icom control codes, then converting that to HEX, then firing it off at
teh radio. Now I just use ASCII! I am thinking of building a little
box I can insert in the RS-232 line, and insert commands whenever I
want, using a separate control panel. I WILL have my remote control for
firing off radio macros soon... Probably make that a winter project.
it should not be hard at all.

Thanks a million Tony...

Re: Firing off a macro via MixW

While we are on the topic of MixW and Elecraft......(and there's no good
MixW help available)

I have been using MixW (first v.2 now v.3.1.1) with my K2 for about 7
years. Recently I noticed that the on-screen Log was only showing the
last two contacts, versus it showing about 6 or 8 before. I can't find
any adjustment, either in the menus or in "hacking" the .ini file and
the file can't be "dragged" any more open. OS is Win 7 Pro.

Has anyone experienced this?

Re: Firing off a macro via MixW

Phil,

Are you a member of the Yahoo group in my sig below? If not, join, then
look in the files section. There is a fellow there who has totally
rewritten all the help files and keeps them current.

If you do get them, and like them, please thank him... He is a fellow
from the UK, and I can't remember his call for the life of me right now.

I Probably should have suggested this on the first email, post to the
list in my sig. You will get an answer, there are literately several
thousand MixW users there. 4k users signed up to that list.
