K3 TX TEST Mode via Software

alsopb
I'm using the K3 for measurements and want it to be in the TX TEST mode.

The software uses SWH18.  However, it is a toggle.  So if "*hit" happens
and you have to run the data collection software again, it returns the
K3 to the normal mode.

I've scanned the manual looking for a command which does the same but is
not a toggle.  NADA.

Any workarounds?

The IC command will return the status of the "TEST" setting. In the first byte, bit 5 will be 0 if normal, A if in test. See page 13 of the K3 & KX3 Programmers Reference.
