[K3] Macros

N7US
The macros that I've saved as M1-M4 "hold" are executing when I "tap" any of
the four buttons.

My M1 "hold" macro which is to go to split mode up 2, turn on the
subreceiver, and set CW bandwidths for the main receiver and subreceiver is
overwriting the KDVR voice memory I had in "tap" M1.  

Am I doing it incorrectly or just not understanding the macros?

Hi Jim

The M1-4 buttons have no "Hold" function.
But the REC button has one: hold it to get into BANK 1, again for BANK 2.
Then tap it to return to the normal M1-M4...

It's more complicated than that. The M1-4 buttons have no separate
"hold" function when they are used as CW (and I assume DVR) memories -
more precisely, HOLDing one of them puts it in auto-repeat, at least in
CW/DATA (I don't know about the DVR - voice modes are a mystery to me).

However, when they are used to store macros, TAP and HOLD are
independent (i.e. you can store two different macros in one key). I seem
to recall that if you only store one of the two in a given key (tap and
hold), tapping and holding both execute the same macro.

What this means is that you can use any one of these keys to store
either a single memory message or two macros, but you cannot use a key
to store both a memory message (tap) and a macro (hold). You can mix and
match between keys, e.g. M1 contains two macros (tap & hold), M2
contains a CW message, M3 contains two more macros, etc.
