K3 macro for TEXT DEC On/Off?

[Nick Kennedy]

Is there a way to write a macro for one-button switching of receive text decode on and off?  I like to use text decode while QSOing or monitoring, but when that’s not happening, I’d rather have the display doing something useful instead of showing E E E E T T E T, etc.

I looked at the programming reference and the Help in the K3 utility.  I see how to simulate holding the button, but if it’s possible to feed the rig the parameter for OFF-TX ONLY-RX slow speeds and RX-high speeds, I haven’t seen the method.

TU / 73-

Push the DISP button and watch the voltage instead or the clock or...?  ;o)

Hi
Nope not possible. The US and DN command is not working on the K3 or kx3. It never has.  Unfortunately it never makes it to the firmware todo list.
There is a way though, and that is to use the k3/0 protocol.
