K3: Menu entries in K3 macros

[k6dgw]

Technical difficulty in my mind:  How do I change a menu setting from
one of the 16 K3 macro slots. Specifically, I want to toggle SPKR+PH
on/off using my KPOD in Macro #16.  My K3 has TECH MD set to ON all the
time.  I don't fully understand the K3 Programmer's Reference for the MN
command I guess.

73,

Hi Fred,

Use the MN command select the menu entry number. This simulates going into the menu at the radio. The Programmer's Reference provides a table of MN values for each transceiver--be sure to use the one for the K3/K3S.

Then use the MP command to read or change the value. This is also explained in the reference. You can send "MP;" to read the current value to make sure you know how the MP values relate to the menu entry's displayed parameter.

Finally, send "MN255;" to exit the menu.

Thanks Wayne and Mike, my feeble brain did not register that some menu
entries have values and don't just toggle. It's working great now.
