K3: Macro to make radio beep...

Does anyone know of a macro that will make a beep come out of the K3?

Here’s one way.

You can send a string, say a letter ‘T’ (etc.) in CW mode with tone output only by embedding “<“ (RF off) and “>” (RF on) characters in a KYtext command.

For example:

KYW<T>;

The ‘W’ forces the K3 to complete the message send before moving on to other commands in the macro.

Re: [Elecraft-K3] K3: Macro to make radio beep...

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for the suggestion!!

The software I use to send macros, (MixW), uses "<", and ">" to start
and terminate a macro...

So no go... Any other way to suppress xmit send a character, then
re-enable xmit?

You could set power to zero, send the character(s), then restore power.

In reply to this post by wayne burdick

Hi Wayne,

Does the "W" suffix apply for all macro commands, or just the KY macro
command?

K3: Macro to make radio beep...

In reply to this post by NK7Z

Good to know I wasn't the only one wanting to do this. In my case I wanted to make my TS-590S beep if power was manually set above my controller's programmed band max power limit. I force the power setting back to max and beep. It was hard to find a way to make the TS-590S beep but I eventually found a CAT command that would beep but change nothing, AN999;.

If a rig has high and low tones for signalling to the operator it's unfortunate that there is not a CAT command dedicated to sounding those beeps. Perhaps something to consider for the K4?

73,
Andy, k3wyc

The K4 has audio tone generation commands.
