K3 QRP CW vs SSB default power levels

[Dennis KB7ST]

Hopefully I am overlooking something simple.  I'm QRP.  When I switch to CW MODE, I'd like the K3 to switch power level to 5 watts. On the same band or other bands, when  When I switch to SSB MODE, I'd like to the K3 to switch to 10 watts.  Instead, I have to adjust the power control each time I switch between CW and SSB.  There must be a way to do this without a macro or perhaps not?

Dennis,

I would suggest two macros - one to switch to CW and set the power to 5
watts, and the other to switch to SSB and set the power at 10 watts.  
Check out the MD and the PC commands in the K3 Programmer's Reference
manual.
Use your macros instead of the MODE switch.

73,
