Frequency Memory Editor

[Dick Dickinson]

Are the K3 frequencies accessible from outside software?  Of the various
pieces of software for the K3 is there a frequency memory editor?
...something along the lines of text file editor with hooks into the K3
frequencies or perhaps a spread sheet.


Best regards,

Dick - KA5KKT

To the best of my knowledge, the answer is no. There are no software commands to directly get / set the memory contents, and trying to do it by emulating button presses would I suspect be difficult and unreliable.

It's a huge undertaking, but one I'm considering for a rainy day.

There's a LOT of stuff in a "memory", including the two VFO frequencies,
modes, settings of more controls than you might think, repeater offsets, the
list goes on and on.  Coming up with a reasonable editor for all this is
challenging; I'm thinking of doing it with an XML file and an external
editor (and use a schema that would look nice in Excel).

The contents of a "memory" has changed across firmware versions.

I'm also considering it separate from the K3 Utility because I currently
don't require a prerequisite install of an XML parser.
