Apologies if this is 'yesterday's news'.......
When I'm S&Ping in a contest with the 2nd receiver in the right ear (A-AB) I like to be able to switch quickly to sub in both ears (AB-AB); often it makes it easier to copy a weaker signal. I've been doing this with 2 macros to switch the L-MIX-R menu item, one allocated to M4 TAP and the other to M4 HOLD. After reading the recent posts on the K3 Triple Macro ('self modifying code') for cycling power levels I realised I should be able to set up the audio mixing macro on just one button as a true toggle switch, and the following 2 macros both allocated to M4 TAP does just that and now releases the M4 HOLD for another macro. MACRO 5 AB AB MN111;MP003;MN110;SWT29;SWT39;SWT14; MACRO 6 A AB MN111;MP001;MN110;SWT27;SWT39;SWT14; Thanks to whoever thought of all this, it's pretty neat. The first 2 fields (MN111;MP003;etc) switch the L-MIX-R and were originally allocated to tap and hold separately; the other fields reset the macro as in the 'Triple Macro' examples. As an aside, it would be great to be able to comment the macros (in K3 Utility?) especially when they're a bit involved like this; I've not found this is possible. Presumably this won't work unless the 'comments' are stored in the K3's EEPROM....with the inevitable space issues? 73, Stewart, GW0ETF |
Given the usability of these "multi state macros" it would be valuable if Wayne would extend the number of macro slots that can be assigned to K3 switches. In effect each of these "toggle" or "tri-state" macros is two or three individual macros that remap the key on each step - with at least 10 assignable keys (M1-M4 tap, M1-M4 hold, PF1, PF2) if each key were used for a multi-state application the number of required macro slots could easily exceed 20 if each key were used for a toggle function. If one does not use DVK/CW/FSK memories, the number of available keys (10) already exceeds the number of assignable macro slots (8). 73, ...

I agree it's very cool to be able to program a toggle macro. I just wanted
to mention that the same can be accomplished in DXLab's Commander rig control module, with which you can have either eight or sixteen "user-defined controls." I have two that each switch between a mic on the front panel jack and one on the rear and also select the desired VOX gain, mic gain, compression, TX EQ, and set the gain at high or low. Another switches between two power levels, and others turn on/off speakers, audio mute, VOX, and spot. They use color "LEDs" to indicate the state. The user-defined controls are in the files folder of the DXLab Yahoo reflector, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxlab/files/Command%20Sequences%20%26%20Slider s/Elecraft/ . Commander's UDCs have the ability to have a comment line for each line of the macro, as Stewart described below. 73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- Apologies if this is 'yesterday's news'.......

I'd also like to mention that for Mac users DL2RUM's RUMLog also has K3 Macro support.
In the K3 control panel there is space for 12 Macros. Now that I think about it I will have to try some of these "triple macros" in a couple of the slots I have left over.

This thread is one of the best threads I've seen in a long on the reflector.
Thanks to whoever started it and to those that commented. It's got a lot of wheels turning on things to do with macros and the K3.

Joe,
Yes, more macro slots would be helpful. It would be great to be able to transfer not only Macros 1-8 in the K3 Utility, but also Macros 9-16, which presently can NOT be sent to the K3. But, once the macros are assigned from the present 8 K3 memories to specific keys in the K3, there is not reason why these memories can not be written over for the next batch of 8 different macros to be assigned as multiple macros to other 1-8 or PF keys. 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = -----Original Message----- From: Joe Subich, W4TV [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 14:13 To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Toggle macros Given the usability of these "multi state macros" it would be valuable if Wayne would extend the number of macro slots that can be assigned to K3 switches.

Joe,
Thanks for pointing that out...........duh. So the answer is, as you suggested is to extend the number of macro slots. I wonder if that is simply a software issue or if the K3 has a hardware restriction which would prohibit the addition of macro slots.
