K3 ESSB macro

Can someone please confirm: it is possible to toggle the TX ESSB on/off value via macro (mn096;swt11;mn255;) but it is impossible to set it to a known value of "on" or "off" ?

Thanks/73,
Barry N1EU

Re: K3 ESSB macro

When looking at this Barry I thought maybe you could read the status of
the "+" icon on the LCD. That is supposed to be on if ESSB is on. I
think a bug got into the FW where the icon is no longer showing when in
ESSB.

This is from the current Programmer's manual...

IC * (Misc. Icons and Status; GET only)
RSP format: ICabcde; where abcde are ASCII characters (Byte in Table 4
below) used as collections flags (Bit
in table). Each flag represents the status of an LCD icon and/or
specific transceiver function.
Some functions whose status is indicated by IC command flags can be
controlled using emulation commands. For
example, the K3 can be put into TX TEST by sending SWH18. The condition
can be verified at any time using the
IC command (byte a, bit 5). Another example: ESSB (extended SSB) can be
turned on/off using an MN (menu)
command, followed by SWT11, simulating a tap of 1 on the keypad. Again,
IC can be used to verify the present
state (byte d, bit 5).

Ooops....no bug. Radio was in CW mode. Duh!

The first line show ESSB off, second line shows ESSB on.

IC\x80\xA8\x94\x90\x80;

IC\x80\xA8\x94\xB0\x80;

So the status of Byte D tells you the status of ESSB.

Re: K3 ESSB macro

Yes, but you can't embed a conditional statement in a macro so being
able to read the current ESSB state doesn't help. So under the
constraints of macro coding, how to turn ESSB on/off independent of
current state of ESSB?

Tnx/73,

Re: K3 ESSB macro

I don't think you can. Doing it manually on the radio is a toggle, it
switches state AFAICS. The macro is just emulating that.

The "+" works fine in the latest FW rev. I don't think there's been a problem with it in any of the revs.
